the mods go hand in hand so the headers would be the best bet and prolly the appropriate mod before cam, once the two are together it only gets better, lol

Cheater cams are way to small imo. I think he should get something like a 228/232 cam and a ported fast 92. Then a set of Trickflows 215 or ETP 215 and he would have a badass daily driveable TA.

That would be a really sick setup that put out 420-460rwhp (A4 or M6).....BUT would also make your wallet
