What should my next mods be?

[Sean37]

I feel like getting some more stuff for my car. I don't have tons of extra money right now but I have enough for one or two small mods. I just want to sorta have a plan of what mods I should do and in what order. I'm thinkin I'll put in an aluminum 1-pc driveshaft, hi-flow cat, and a 160* thermostat. I know I should probably get some 3.42's but it sounds like it can be a difficult mod on some cars. I think I want to just do a rearend swap that already has 3.42's but I don't know where to find one. So what do you guys think I should do? Thanks.

hmmm, I would go for the alum. driveshaft or the gears

your going to get the most improvement out of those two items

order is pretty irrelevant.

you would get a rear axle at a junkyard

One thing to remember, if you get the 160 stat, the fans still wont come on till later (195 deg.?) so you'd probably want to fix that with a fan switch or programming.

I would go with the driveshaft and 160 thermo. but also with a manual fan switch.

gears, definitely gears. Shop around for a good price. i got my ring and pinion and lsd off ebay real cheap... (less than 150 for everything) and then i had a good hookup for the install.

Of course, for you the cheapest will probably be the new rear axle, and youll have disk brakes then. try speedautomotive.com

Yeah I think the manual fan switch is something I should do also. When I'm driving around for a while my temps are around 210 which isn't too good. Is there any way to make the fans stay on at all times? I know absolutely nothing about electrical stuff and the manual fan switch installation seems very difficult to me.
