Well, I changed my mind
I have decided to go with the Torquer2 cam and hptuners. Everyone around here knows everyone else so its not like you are going to suprise anyone with the nitrous. Also if someone doesn't have nitrous they are just going to want to run you without your juice on. The nitrous would be a fun addition and if I was completely happy with my N/A performance then I would definitely get the juice. However, being that I don't know the size of my current small cam and the need to be faster, I have decided to go the cam route.

I have decided to get hptuners and not the dynotune, for now. After I get heads and possibly replace my mac's with longtubes, I will get the dynotune. For now I can tune myself with a wideband and tinker to get everything how I want it.

I should've known this thread would just be opening a can of controversy

But it has givin me different view points, so thanks guys. I will post some SOTP gains, since the dyno time will be next summer probably.


Merry christmas ALL!!!

also im going h/c because ill replace the lifters, oil pump, water pump (didnt they update it?) im gainging hp and tq also it is re freshing my motor in a way. also the 98 heads blow. but im limiting my self to 6500 because the bottom end has 95K+ and the oil system in the block dosnt like very high rpms along with the rod bolts, so building a h/c combo for max power with a 6500rpm shift is tricky, every one gives different combos

I think you made a good choice to make little more N/A power cuz you know people will want to race without the juice after they lose with it.Myself I have a small cam and decided to add heads and the juice in the spring.Keep us posted and have a merry x-mas
