Getting a camshaft kit and tune would be well worth the money.

When I think about it, the stall and gears would be better. Getting a camshaft would require you to get the stall anyway, depending on which camshaft that you go with.

A tune would be good for you with all of your bolt-ons. I think that this would put you past $1200 though. I don't know much about where to get your car tuned, but a lot of people do go with PCM4Less.

ls1 head job and cam at elliotts is 1200. http://elliottsportworks.com/home/?page_id=51 58mm tb is not going to do anything without doing the heads and cam. stall is only going to help with the hole shot. gears is a good idea but i saved that for last. tune is a must. get a better deal from solomon. http://www.lt1pcmtuning.com/service/

thanks crabby
thats effing sweet. but id prob have todo a dyno tuning + labor for the install tho. or could i do the tune for the heads and cam threw solomon?
should i just save a little and do the heads and cam now, and do 373s and stall later then?
