I'm about to have the cash together to do one of 2 things and wonder which I would notice the most with regards to performance: New heads and cam or a 4.10 rearend. I have a crapMatic in case anyone wants to know. And if the anyone thinks I should go with the heads and cam what should I look into that would net me the most torque.

thanks

The cam and heads will cost you a bit more than doing gears. What price range are you looking at first off??

Well the gears are ~200 bucks give or take then install so your looking at 500 maybe ~700 if you do a tlok with it.

heads and cam are ~1000 then either get it installed or do it yourself. Either way your looking at some more cash. I'm doing a head cam swap right now and it is costing me way more then gears did. But Then again I'm getting BV heads and RR's with this swap. By the time I'm done I will have spent probably around 2000-2500.
