Default Cam help

OK well before i leave for the army i am thinking about purchasing an 02 ws6. I know i want to make this car into a procharged beast but i wont have the money for a while. I am wanting to get a pretty aggressive cam so i can make some nice power but i am wondering what mods should i get to get every horse out of the cam. I hear headers and intake are great. Thanks for your help

If you are going to supercharge it or turbo, or nitrous get the FM-9 from www.futralmotorsports.com If you are going to stay N/A get the F-14 on a 112LSA. If you want to go custom get in contact with allen at futral.

If you want supporting mods It depends on budget. Unlimited Budget: Get AFR 205 heads, Fast 90mm Intake w/Nick Williams 90mm TB, pulley, QTP headers w/high velocity merge collectors, sweet thunder true duals (or whatever sound you like)

If you are on a budget: PRC stg 2.5 5.3L heads, LS6 Intake w/ported TB, pulley, Pacesetter headers (best of with QTP or KOOK's thouhg), sweet thunder true duals (or whatever sound you like)

As with anything else get suspension and drivetrain upgrades to put the power to the ground. This is just for the engine.
