lol.. Gees, you guys are brutal...

Well, I wasn't trying to be "cheap", I have the funds to do whatever I want but instead of blowing a big chunk of cash on my car I figured Id put myself on a budget..

I did the header install 3 times... first time I installed a set of LTs... Second time I removed and reinstalled both sides to figure out why I was getting CEL.. Third time was to remove and reinstall the stock exhaust manis..

Ive been doing my homework, and Im just going to suck it up and do what everyone recommended.. Headers and cam.. I really miss the sound of the car with the headers and want some more go until i get the next car..

Just a question.. Im going to go for a mild cam.. Something that will work with my dual spring crane springs/ti retainers... will my stock pushrods be okay?

Thanks again for all the help...

Arent the dual springs good for over .600 lift? I know the patriot dual gold springs are good to like .650 lift, so im guessing they should be fine with even a good sized cam. As 99blancoss said def invest in some hardened pushrods. If you want a decent sized camw ith good power id say a tr224 or tr228, with headers and tuned you should def see around 400 rwhp.
