Default What should i do?

what do you guys think i should do i currently have slp lm1's, slp x-pipe,cai, and a short shifter. im really confused on what i should do i want more power and i know your gonna say blower but i cant spend that kind of money i have about 400 saved now and after a couple weeks i could have about 1400 or so. i want cams i want gears i want everything but im just not sure what would you guys do? like a couple of good mods in that price range to give me more power? thanks guys

1400 ought to get cams and install done for you (maybe another few hundred for the tune). I'd go that route and then get gears as soon as you can.

I was figuring he should get the big things done while he's got money burning a hole in his pocket. Either way... we all seem to be in agreement. cams and gears... ready? go!

I agree. 4.10's would nicely compliment your mods.

yes you'll need a retune for the cams. SCT may even have an off the shelf tune that you can download that's been optimized for the cam profile you pick. You should put it on a dyno for the base tune so you can get a good safe A/F and timing curve. After you get your cams that'll be more important.

Get the gears and tuner first. The tuner will come with at least 1 free mail order tune which will accomodate the gears and whatever else you have done. Then once you get the cams you can pay for the dyno tune.
