    Everything being what exactly?

    You already have a cam...so what if it's not a NIC until you run your setup how do you know that you won't be satisfied with your new set up? Stop feeding into all the hype that either go with a NIC or a huge cam or bust. Some guys are happy not going extreme with their builds and just going moderate and keeping it a reliable DD. Until you have driven or riding in GP or wbody that has had other set ups you really dk what you'll like and what will fit your needs! The same guys that go around and scream NIC/bigger or bust probably have based that opinion just from reading on here or watching youtube clips and not from real world experience. Spend the money on getting the rest of the things you need and get the car running correct first. If you decide that you want to mod further (heads/bigger cam etc) then do so later on. It doesn't take long to pull the heads or cam our through the fender if it comes down to that. Spend the money getting the rest of the parts you need to put the heads/cam/genv on it and then fix the trans issue your having. At the end of the day you will eventually realize that a GP is a GP and will never be a (insert fast car of your choice) so don't try to go overboard making it that. Get it to a point where your absolutely happy. Remember your building the car for YOU, and not everyone else. It's your money, your car!
