What will get me the best ET bang for my buck. I want to continue to make faster times at the track but I not sure where to spend my dough. Should I buy subframe connectors, new springs and shocks or should I go and upgrade my cams an springs? i know at some point i will have to go for the suspension mods but i am really thinking about new cams. Any ideas?

I say CAMS, suspension would be great and all, but there is nothing more musical than a nice sounding stang countin em off.

if you have pi cams in there already than go with some subframes. Even the really good ones cost around 100. You will need them anyways

If you are doing lots of track driving, subframes are a must. With the hard launches, Ive heard of cars frames getting twisted all outta shape, so at least put in the subframes. Also consider a set of rear control arms, they supposedly help out a lot with launching. Ive read that some springs will actually mess up your times so maybe just get some drag shocks depending on how far you wanna go. Good luck, and once you get the subframes, BRING ON THE CAMS!!!

If I had it to do again, I would prep the car's suspension for the power and then do the horsepower mods.

IMO, its just like building a house. You have to lay the foundation before you start building. Do the suspension and prepare the car to handle the power. You will have a lot less problems that way.
