Edit - Here ya go chief...

One problem. He doesn't hold the record for most power at the rear wheels cam only. He holds the record for fastest cam only. Two VERY different things.

i wouldnt go with heads just yet, first you need to get some long tubes so your not choking the cam, if u get heads/cam with stock manifolds your leaving so much horsepower on the table

$2400 is what I plan on spending on bolt ons and a few mild suspension parts to get ready for cams and heads.

Same thing for me

$1k for suspension, another $1k for full exhaust, and a few hundred on suspension parts that help stick my power to the ground

THEN I'll get into a cam and maybe heads. I'm going to have to get a aftermarket rear before the heads tho .

You can say what you want ... but if it makes 450 RWHP it won't be gay it will be phuchin fast.. .. ..some guys do not go the the drag strip they just want a fast car..

It just isn't economical to piecemeal from one part to another. I'd rather do as many as I can at once. Rather than get headers, then cam, then tune, then suspension, then intake, then heads, then tune, I have the money right now to get heads, cam, intake, to complete my exhaust, and to get a tune. If I still have issues with putting the power to the ground (I already have a couple of the suspension mods checked off), I'll address those later.

All i was sayin was that it would be A LOT smarter to get stuff like tourque arm, SFCs, and LCAs, etc before u give it 450rwhp, u need to get that horsepower to the ground, cars are made to be drivin, and by drivin i mean not just to be shown around and just say you have 450rwhp..

If you are not going to the drag strip you can drive around just fine without all that heavy duty stuff..been there done that...as a matter of fact doin it now.. ..not having any problems at all.. ..on the street is usually from a roll ..I spank a lot of butts out on the interstate..it works for me..drive up along side me me sometime and I'll show you what I mean..
