Should I do headers before a cam?
I will end up doing both in time, but what to do first. Wife only gives so much to the car fund <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
well I know you are gonna both, so bascially its up to you. The cam will make more power with headers, but it will make good power without. Each ones gonna benefit the other. So when you get both she will haul ***!
u know which cam im looking at <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> would be a great one for you also!

I would recommend to do the headers first and improve breathing on the back-in. On the front-in get lid, K and N filter, port and polish MAF and TB. With the air taken care on front and back-in----then the cam will get more power for you---just my opinion. Cheers.
you could always look into the split reverse pattern cams <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

I did a cam first. Gains were nice, but after adding headers I’ve noticed that the gains are MUCH better! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That’s not needed if you have room to get them in from underneath...
