Next mod input wanted.

Hi guys. My car is a vert, so I am not looking for a full blown drag car. L99 car. But I do love to fly in it, and I do will take it to the drag strip a time or two a year. I have had it about 9 months now. I have put a CAI intake and Apex race scoop. A LS3 exhaust with GMPP axle-back. And last thing I did was Stainless Power long tubes and hi flow cats . And a tune . Now I am contemplating my next mod. I am talking around a thousand or less to spend on it. I am looking at Nitrous kits. Cam kits. Or heads. I am looking at used parts and will do install myself and a buddy. I have ran nitrous before. I am not contemplating a stall right now, because of budget. I know a bigger cam will need a stall. Was contemplating a GPI SS1 cam. Just looking for a little input. Thanks.

How about gears or a stall? There's a lot of people that swear up and down over the stall, but gears will also help get the car feeling faster.

OK I will add stall to the list. Not gears though, because nitrous is my number one pick , and if I go nitrous I may not want to change gears at all.

I did gears then stall. Yes keep your gears and get a stall for sure.

A stall is a possibility. But if I do or don't get nitrous might change the stall size I would want. Why would you recommend stall over nitrous or cam? Thanks!

Well if you cam it ....you may need a stall anyway. Im not sure what stall you would need for nitrous.....you do what you like Im just giving you an opinion on the stall. Maybe pm Circle D on what your plans may or may not be. Or....just do all 3 and call it a day.

No worries. We are just bouncing around ideas. I want input. The thing is I don't have money for all 3. Or I would. Lol. As far as now though if I did a cam it would be a baby cam that didn't need a stall. It's why I am asking opinions . It can be mind boggling. All these options and different ways to do things. Thank you for your input. I have read many threads you have posted in. I know you too are building a better car as you go along. Just like I am. I will get it figured out. It just helps to here others opinions and ideas and sometimes just talking it out helps.

Looking at some interior work next. Hood is on order, just got radio and cameras today. Power wise next would be transmission swap to 4L80 and top/bottom internals.

I have found that its better to talk to members that have the mods you want to do . Theres alot of info from people just trying to help.....I pm members that have first hand knowledge of whst Im doing. I get great input that way.....Pro stock john a Gossip are 2 guys that have helped me out alot with proven advice.
