Default What Next?

Ok Im in the middle of a dilema. What to do to my car next? I want to go more on performance (go faster) than looks. Here are a list of all my mods in the picture. I have lost a little bit of quickness with the 20' rims and want to make it up and go beyond where I was before. FI is out of the question to much $$$. LOL!!! Lets say for about $1.5K. Even cosmetic suggestions are welcome.

Cams. And if you are running nitrous, you might want to invest in building the motor...but that could take you well beyond your $1.5k budget

Both pretty good mods IMO.

first, you need to take into considerationg what your plans are for the car? do you plan going FI in the future? this will save you money, time and grief for buying parts now that you don't need later....

I just purchased the top speed headers. What performance shop in Southern California do you guys recommend for install on headers. How much does the install run approximately to get an idea? I heard of street image but have no address. Thier site is also under sonctruction.

Well I guess now, the only thing left are the 3.9 Final Gear and Cams. Maybe for Christmas.

Thanks again guys.

It was lower than $400 since I got a few other things but regularly it is around $400. Ask for Erick at Street Image. They do great work man. I would reccomend them to anyone.
