OK...I have $1000 to spend on my car if I want. My signature has all my current mods. I was thinking about getting a Precision Industries 3200 RPM stall Torque Converter, but that is only $600. What else would be good to get with the remaining $400? I was thinking about some suspension and chasis parts like upper/lower control arms and subframe connectors. What do you guys think? If you have a different suggestion for the $1000 tell me...I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!!!

subframe connectors should be the very first thing you do next. best mod for the price, hands down.

you seem to have plenty of power. i think a stall will really help you out, and i also suggest SFCs and suspension stuff. get some nice beefy control arms and good adjustable struts and shocks and you should pick up some traction.

You will love the frame connectors and converter. You will need some suspension and a big ass tranny cooler. I have a Precision 3200. I gained about half a second with mine. Expensive but well worth the gain.

Foxes dont have enough suspension for stock power levels much less the mods you have. If it were me I would get the Eibach pro suspension kit (sway bars, progressive springs and shocks) for $700, some MM FLSFC for 120, and some MM or Steeda or HPM LCAs for 150-230 depending which one. Your car will be so much more solid it will seem like a new car. The ride will be way smoother and less harsh while increasing off the line and cornering gripp tremendousley (I gotta stop using words I cant spell ) It would also add a measure of safety due to better vehicle controll.

Crap ... you're right. I thought that didn't take effect until around May.

Guess that also explains why Frankenstang's tax return got sent back to her for $0.02 insufficient postage today...

Soooo, yeah. It should take a couple of days to get here, but if you send it tomorrow, I'll have it before the end of the week.
