Good, but will deffinetly have alot more $$$ left over. I would say....

1.) 4.10 gears
2.) T-lok
3.) Steeda Tri-axe short shifter
4.) Racing heads
5.) New Cam
6.) Headers
7.) Intake
8.) Upgrade exhaust with mid pipe and mufflers
9.) Supercharger
10.) Crankshaft
11.) Pistons

This is just some off the top of my head. Hope this helps.

i would deffinatley pull the motor,trans, and rearend and start with a good strong base. beef up the rearend, and trans and put the rest of the money in the motor. Do lots of research and shopp around.

Default RE: $6000 for mods.. what should friend get..

are you just naming motor parts? LOL

1.) 4.10 gears - like 250
2.) T-lok - like 80
3.) Steeda Tri-axe short shifter - like 330
4.) Racing heads - 2000
5.) New Cam - 320
6.) Headers - 250
7.) Intake - 650
8.) Upgrade exhaust with mid pipe and mufflers - 400
9.) Supercharger - 3000
10.) Crankshaft - forged? like 700
11.) Pistons - 500

payments for installed, like 2000

so theres like 9 grand in parts.. 2 grand install.. and you have a motor pushing limit of a stock block, but all weak rods, etc etc.. and a tranny thats gonna blow in about 10 seconds, and a rearend which is still stock with gears...

(moparman is canada, so canadian funds)

myself i would do.. get a tremec 3550 tranny maybe used for 1000
31 spline carrier and axles, gears, 800
6 point cage, 350
racing seats/5 points 500
there you have like 3500 for a motor, id find a complete one for sale used, that has about 400 hp for 2500, then have 1000 for suspension..control arms, springs, etc..

then you will have a good all around car..

Yes, Im just naming parts. He said speed and speed first so I just named off ****...lol But like I said off the top of my head, there is a million options. And true install if you dont do them yourself will cost alot also. And dc_mann8 $330 for a tri-axe short shifter!?!?! Heck no, try around $179 or $200 tops.
