Default In What Order Advice For Next Mod(s)

Hey, since money doesn't grow on trees, I need to do these slowly, but I can't decide what order to do them in:

1) Port and Polish heads and intake with Gasket Matching ~ $290
2) Cam, Either 220/220 TR or the 224/224, can't decide which yet. ~$450
3) 4.10 Rear Gears (posi, obviously) ~ $450
4) Nelson Tune

I figure the nelson tune should be done last or something right??

I know this sounds silly, but I just can't decide, right now I'm thinking, Headwork, then Gears, then Cam, then TUNE -

what do yall think?? am I forgetting something?

I say go with a posi and gears. Why would you want more power if you can't hook up? Next, do Nelson tune. You can always get a free update after installing the cam.

I agree with Tiburon, you should have that rear end setup for the future mods so it'll hold up. Last thing you want is to blow that **** up and have to pay for it before you want to.

With headwork, I think I could handle the high lift (.563) of the 224 don't you guys?? or should I go with the 220? Keep in mind I dont' need a stall because I have a 5-speed !!
