I've come to save about $2800 for mods. How do you think I could spend it? Keep in mind, NO forced induction. I don't have the funds to repair whatever gets broke due to the forced induction. Current mods are in the sig. Any advice would be helpful.

Springs and shocks. Those would take up about 1/3 of that.

i personally did Long Tubes(Bassani), Mid pipe o/r x(Bassani) and cams (Comp cams Stage II)i have only spent 300 for the LT and O/R X and i spent 600 for cams... i wish i could do the heads but the gaskets and bolts alone are 300 for the heads...With the LT it only cost me like 50.00 for new gaskets and the cams it cost me 190 for new springs( Because the lift is more then .500 it was .550) But it was WELL worth it...So if i were you i would do HEADS 750.00 CAMS 600.00 LT 500.00 MID PIPE 140.00... Total 1990.00.... and still have some left to spend... ut find a GOOD shop in your area to install them..k thats my .02

What do you want from your car?
- more power
- better handling for corner carving
- better launching for drag racing
- pimpin'
- all of the above

Depending on what you want from your car really determines how you need to spend you money. For example, a car setup for handling is very different then a car setup for drag racing. You would be wsting your money by seting it up for coners when all you do is drag race. Power is always good, but at some point you have more than your suspension/traction can handle. It is all a balancing act to get teh best performance for the money.

Since you already have some exhaust and a chip, if I were you, I would look at some underdrive pulleys, some susspension work like lower control arms, and maybe some nitrous for fun
