Okay, working with say...600-700 bucks...what would you do with it??

Bassani Mid Lengths?
Upper and Lower Control Arms and Springs?
Cams?

I know that I could only afford to buy the headers or cams with that kind of money, so I wouldn't have the cash for the install...and don't have the time for any big project installations myself. So do I spring for that stuff and get it installed next month or buy the Control Arms and Springs and install now??

Any other suggestions?

judging by your sig, you have a pretty good setup for drag racing...why not finish it off with the control arms? I dunno what kind of springs you are looking at, but lowering springs tend to hurt your launch, so I would say go with the control arms and buy the headers. That should be about 200-250 for good lower control arms and anywhere from 300-500 for the headers...right in your price range

Thanks for the input..I tend to agree with what you say. Actually the Bassani Mid Lengths are kinda pricey (quoted 589.00) but I could probably swing both those and the control arms. That way I could at least have something to install this weekend and then save up for the header install.
