FAST 90/90 setup Ok, I have a semi stock motor right now. Has the basic bolt on's IE: race headers, Y pipe, basically full exhaust. Im wondering if doing the 90/90 setup right now would be bad for the car. Or should I wait to do an intake and TB setup untill i have a cam and heads. Just spitballing here, let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

It wouldn't be bad for the car, but your gains will not be as high on a stock internals motor as a H/C motor. If you plan on a cam and heads later on then go for it. Personally I would get a H/C package first since you can get it for only a few hundred more than a 90/90 setup. Granted it all comes to the same result in the end, I'm just not that patient.

$1k for 90/90 set up = 15 hp
$300 cam + $250 springs + $150 pushrods + $150 oil pump + $50 fluid/gaskets = Considerably more then 15 hp
Either would have to be tuned so I didn't include that cost and those numbers are just off the top of my head so don't quote me on anything.
