Need input, Spend my money
Well, I got some cash and here's my thoughts.
Either a
1. new TH350 with 3000-3500 stall
2. Weiand supercharger, not sure of the # but it's $1500 in summit
just remembered, I'd have to get rid of the stock hood which I like. And I'd want an SS hood if it would clear, so that there is something else I'd have to save for
3. New Paint job, as I have a dented fender and the paint needs some help
Now, My thinking is this. It is pointless to race my car now with the way the tranny is going, so I'm going to need a new one.
However, I don't come across a lot of cash all at once. And it may be years before I'd have the cash to buy a SC. Where as I could get a TC for Xmas, and possibly pick up a used th350 or even save up money for a new one, over the winter break.
Paint job would be nice, but I don't want to shell out some cash now, for an ok job, and leave the car (paint) unattended while I'm off at college for like 8 months of the year.
What would you do?
BTW- here is my current setup
350 4 bolt main about 9:1 compression
200cc aluminum Pro Lightning heads
Comp 268XE cam
Crane 1.6 roller rockers
Holley 650 DP
Hedman 1 5/8th long tubes
Hooker cat-back

go before show.
but if you're tranny is about to go... i wouldn't put even more go behind it with a super charger to speed its going. ;-)
general rule of thumb, fix whats wrong, and then upgrade b/c if you upgrade and don't fix it, you're gonna completely break what was wrong... and have no camaro to drive until you do come across a lot of cash again.
thats my fuzzy logic.
