Default Got $600 to spend, what to do?

Alright, as you know I have $600 dollars to spend on my truck right now. I was wondering what kind of mod(s) should I do with the money. So far, I have onle a K&N FIPK and a Dynomax muffler dumped b/f the axle. A cam swap is in this things future so that is an option. Let me know what I shoud do.

I'd probably go with 4.10 gears and a tune, then go from there.

get tuning software... that will save you money down the road... if you want just a bolt on get a set of long tube headers.

yea some LS1 E-fans would be a good start for ya.
or Some LTs?
or to make your trans last a lil longer a Vette Servo or Superior Super Servo??

First thing i got was EFI Live for future mods
then Super servo because my tranny tried to slip.
Then Motive 4.10s and Eaton LSD goin in this weekend i hope!
Next is goin to be a built Tranny with a TC...

What do you plan on doin with the truck??
I would start with the weakest points first.

You're getting lots of air in but could get it out quicker. I'd get some headers.

Then converter and cam together.

Then tune it.

Do all of that within the span of a week and you'll be a happy camper.
