Intake, carb, headers, cam. All at once if you can afford it, or you could do the headers, then intake and carb, then cam and lifters. If you're really flush, a set of aluminum heads would be nice too.

A nice performance car would be cool. Weekend driver kind of thing. It's not my daily driver or winter car. But working with a limited budget.

I got the Intake, Carb, headers, Exhaust, Tranny, Rear End, Cam (I think is mild). So I think heads would be the next step with maybe a better cam and heads. Car runs mint. So engine wise it's really tight. Need to do shocks next year. Any suggestions on some nice shocks? Would like performance ones.

I bought a set of upper end Gabriel Gas shocks at my local Autozone, and I'm really happy with the price and performance. Under $30 ea.

The rear is a 10 bolt. Just drove the car. It drives really nice and fast. So I think based on that it would be cam and heads & shocks next.
