DOnt see the Special pricing in that to be honest. $2,000 is about the going rate for everything above installed and tuned.

Id start with long tubes first that was the best mod ive done so far. I wouldnt bother with a clutch until it goes on you. Im on my stocker.

This, and do a shifter instead of the clutch if you haven't already.

Mine was $1300 out the door for cam job at SNL. Cam, gaskets, dual PRC springs, PRC chromoly pushrods, fluids, tune and tax.

This was during a special, but I think their normal rate is $1400-$1500 max.

And SNL does custom grind cams as well. and they are very good at what they do. haha.

you will find a few guys on here that go there, and wont go anywhere else. if you are around DFW, go to SNL. i live in Abilene, and thats where i go...all 180 miles to get there.

I'm glad I talked to you guys. I called SNL up today and they are ready for me to come in. The price they gave me was pretty good. I ordered my OBX headers today so i will gain a few ponies from that too. they told me with the headers and cam i should get around a 75+ horse increase.I will try to install the headers my self to save a few dollars on that. I will get the CAI later on, plus some guys on here will say the it soaks in a lot of heat or no hp gain with the CAI anyway.

no problem...i know i will be going back to SNL very soon. when you do you headers, look for motor mount issue. mine where shoot at 33322 miles so i had them replaced.

with the CAI, it depends on which one. K&N heat soaks like a Mo Fo.

i went with UUC they are 290ish for the set. they feel like stock, but they are way stronger and wont turn my oil pan brown. the new CS mounts arent bad from what i here and they are a little cheaper. i didnt go with the CS because when i did mine CS were having a melting problem. the problems have been fixed (from what i here so far) with the newest CS mounts.
