    My GTP is currently down for some engine work, nothing major tho (thank god)

    Currently my mods are.
    P&P blower, 3.4" pulley, 104's w/ 10.3mm wires, MSD coil packs, Headers w/ 3" ZZP catback, 180* Tstat, and CAI.

    Im looking to spend under $400 for my next mod.
    I've been thinking about getting HPtuners, but I'd be much more comfortable getting an overkill PCM. Plus that'd leave more money, which = good.

    Also thinking about modded 1.9 Rockers.

    Any thoughts on what I should do next to my money pit Daily Driver??
    Remember, there is a budget..so no "GO TURBO"...even though I want to XD

    Rockers or a camshaft, then a custom tune!

    I dont want to put a cam in...

    There I said it, I have angered the gods.... not wanting to put a Cam in..

    Reason being, Im planning on selling my LT1 motor and building a custom L67.

    I dont want to go "hard core" in my car, since its my DD, but I do want to cam my new build when it starts.

    But I do think rockers, then a tune would be a damn good choice. Thx

    That's fine. Not everyone chooses to go the cam route. Rockers will give you some nice top-end power. The tune will bring it to life.

    rockers are a good place to settle. i was making a bunch of power on a rocker car, but i missed the upset idle and shakiness of a cammed car after i downgraded.
