  • How to spend my tax return...

    So i filed my taxes, and im getting $2106.00 back. i want to spend it all on the bird...where would it be best spent. I leave on monday to go to army basic training, so someone else will be doing the work.

    I need to have the engine re-finished in it, im guessing that would be about $700 to have someone else do it, leaving me with $1400 to spend.

    Existing mods-
    pacesetters
    full 2.5 exhaust, !cat
    1.9 rockers/ LS6 springs/ intense modded retainers
    I had a lid, but my dad stepped on it

    What i would like to do-
    Trans-go shift kit/ corvette servo
    I have the 3.42/lsd stock, but would like to upgrade, what would be the best?
    K&N FIPK??

    what else could i do to make my car better??

    That K&N is pretty sweet.

      Since im not putting that much power to the pavement, would it be better/ more cost efficient to just rebuild the torsen that i have, rather than buy a different differential?

          From what I have heard, FIPK isn't really worth it. Looks cool though.

            Electric cut out, trans go and vette servo sound good

            Agreed with hptuners as well

              well, i dont have my stock intake laying around anymore, and my lid was broken, so i thought my only other option was FIPK

                i dont think ill need Hp tuners, ill have a mail order tune done when i get finished and just be done with performance mods.

                i think ill do LCA's, panhard bar, and torque arm, as well as front and rear sway bars. what about lowering the car???

                  Save it maybe? I throw that out there almost every year, and no one listens.
