Well, i dont know if anyone remembers but we accidentally caught my dash on fire when we were welding the front upper frame support together. Burned my dash and my wiring harness. The insurance actually covered it. They are giving us 1,700. Which isnt bad at all considering we found a wrecked notch with everything in it for 250. Im getting my trans rebuilt for $400, so that leaves me $1,100. My mods are all in my sig, except for the littls stuff like plug wires etc. What do you think i should spend the 1,100 on? I was thinking about getting an electric fan and aluminum radiator, and a new high volume water pump, because my car as it is right now likes to run warmer than id like it too. I was thinking about using the money to get the car setup for higher horsepower. Like new engine mounts, upping the cooling systems capacity. New ball joints in the front, poly front suspension bushings, new front struts. But what do you guys think i should do with the money? Is there somewhere else i should put the money? Like twoard a set of heads? Or even save for a supercharger? What do you think?
 
Man, I wouldn't have posted it on here like that... I'd just say that I have a chunk of change leftover and need to spend it.

Anyways, I would drop it on a new set of aluminum heads right off the bat, that way the most expensive engine part is out of the way and when you have a few extra hundred dollars here and there, you can pick up the intake, exhaust, and cam to go along with it.

Its hard to save up a grand if you've got other things like bills, etc. Now that its sitting here, I'd use it for the big hit.
 
Radiator and fan sound like great investments but dont throw it away on high volume water pump. Your water neck and jackets can only flow so much so buying a higher volume water pump wont help but i bet a nice three row radiator and a good electric fan will do the trick!
