So.. what car parts did you buy on ya tax refund?

Im just an average working single (not married.. You bet I have a chick!) that can claim one person. So I get 502.oo back.. filed on the last day lol. But I want to get something on my stock ride. I was thinking bout the vortec heads and a cam. But One thing.. I was told the LT1 came works good but I was told that on a stock setup.. So what if I get a LT1 cam and the vortec heads. I really dont know the specs on either on so I need some help on this. I'll search google and pull the specs and put them here but I dont know how to match the #s from the cam to the heads. Does anyone have like a web page that would explain that?

btw.. who got what with their tax money.. pleaze, engine parts only.

What good are engine parts if you can't get the power to the ground?

Comp Drag TA's, 8" Rallye rims to mount them on.

Already had the funds for the head work.

I'm gonna start by checking out the junkyards for a 350 block or, *** willing, a complete engine and get a forged rebuild kit. I'm gonna give my 305 to my brother, who is an excellent engine builder, and see what kind of power he can make with it (just for the hell of it... ).
