alright.. Didn't like the idea of paying labor costs anyways, but figured id ask just to be sure. My buddy just said he did lt headers and a tb on his gto and saw no gain, which kinda lead me away from bolt ons a little bit. Hate spending money without seeing results lol

Doing Qpt LT headers, weiand intake, bbk 80mm tb, then hopefully a cam set up, still may do gears in the future if i can figure out labor costs. I think the 342s are def hurting me.

I htink he'll feel the difference without a tune, it's just that he won't get as much out of it.
But yeah, boltons > gears IMO. Headers/TB/tune should get you close to 30-40rwhp out of it, and you SHOULD feel that, lol. BTW, for just boltons, get a mail order tune, Frost Tuning is a good place to check.

Well I should have the qpt headers, weiand intake(80mm) and bbk TB (80mm) by next week, hoping to also do a cam set up with it and then a tune. Hopefully can find a nice package deal with cam, valve springs and hardened pushrods all in one. Im not sure if i should get into different heads, or gears. Just want to easily clear low 12s, without spray. I will get it tuned upon completion. I dont know much about cams. This is a street car that sees the track here and there throughout summer, so it has to be streetable, but im hoping to see a big difference when im finished.

I think I'm deciding on a set of 390 motive gears, if i can find someone to do the labor without breaking the bank. Between the combo thats on its way, gears, a nice cam & a tune. I think I'll reach my goal. Also decided on Koni shocks and sway bars for suspension.
