Heads, Cam, or Long Tubes
Heads, Cam, or Long Tubes Just wanted to know whats the sequence. What gives the most HP/ET reduction first, second and third. My reason for asking is I have read of LS1 turning high 11's with stock manifolds. Any input will be appreciated.

Re: Heads, Cam, or Long Tubes Personally I would choose the headers first.
You will get good boost from the long tubes and when you do finally do the cam/heads. The headers will allow the motor to breathe enough to see a substantial gain from the cam-heads.
Thats my 2 cents.

I can shift faster than you.

Re: Heads, Cam, or Long Tubes If your doing it yourself, do heads and cam 1st. You can always add headers later and you'll gain around 50 or more hp with h/c. Good luck! <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Yes!!! I agree...Choose your headers after your absolute mods. Headers design is not science, it's an art! Have fun!

Re: Heads, Cam, or Long Tubes I'd do the heads and cam first. Get everything internal done at the same time and than you could always add on the headers. This is at least what every tuner has told me. Personally I have about $5,300 that I'm looking to spend and every tuner I've talked to has told me that I should do the heads and cam first than get the headers done later.
