Current mods in sig. Next money should go to 05 e fans , long tubes, or 373 to 410 swap. I think all these are around the $500 mark. Which would help my 1/8 th mile the most. Or maybe spend a little more and do a cam since i already have a stall. What do yall think? Thanks in advance for helping>

If you want to increase your 1/8th mile, I would definately fo with a gear swap. I went with 4.10s and mine dropped quite a bit. The other 2 will help but not as much.

but if you want to save up you could get the cam and since you already have the stall it will really come to life with the new cam.

Not sure the cost of fans, but the others will be over 500. I am looking at a gear swap now. So far pricing gears $175, install kit $100, Locking differ $390, labor $300. Does not include fluids. May change cover also.

LT were 750 and install 200.

If he has a welder and a mandrel bender, he should be ok without going to an installer. My AS&Ms flange locations were so off, the installer had to cut and stab an offset in the y pipe.

So is the y pipe designed to go with the LTs and tie into the stock location? If perfect world, should bolt right up if that is the case.

If I do another mod, I am contemplating either LTs or gears next. I am leaning towards gears since I have 3.23s.

I have both and I will say the gears made a hell of a lot more difference. After gear install I went from a 16.7 to a 15.5-6 in the quarter. I literally had people come up to me and ask me what the hell I did to my truck after I got back to my apartment!
