I have about $1000 to spend right now and I was wondering what to do next. I want all around performance, take off, top end and handling. I know to get all it will cost a lot more but the major stuff will have to wait. I have all my current mods in my signature. Some of the things that come to mind are: torque converter, headers, rocker arms, 2/4 drop, maybe 3.73:1 gears and a diff. I am open to other suggestions. I don't want to kill my gas mileage but I know you can't have it all. I have access to a well stocked garage with lifts and I am pretty good with tools as long as I have decent instructions.

Any help is appreciated.

 

I would do either L/T Headers or a Torqe converter. Im not sure if youre Preditor will tune for those mods.

 

yank tt 3000, $400 used
comp cam 212/218, $250
pushrods and springs, $200

custom tune

just my ideas

 

Why not an electric Flex-A-Lite fan set up?
I am sure you will gain hp & save fuel if you keep your foot out of it once you remove 20lbs of rotating mass!

 

Hey guys, thanks for all the input. I forgot about the fans. Where is a good place to get a vette servo? I programed the tranny with -25 shift time and +25 pressure and it still isn't that hard of a shift.

 

Id replace the Yank with a PI Vigilante. Other than that I would agree with the above suggestion.

 

check out october 2004 issue of car craft. lingenfelter got a 5.3 to 413 crankshaft horsepower with only a cam 9(229/242 on 114.5)and headers. hope it helps some. pretty good article.
