FAST 90/90 setup
Ok, I have a semi stock motor right now. Has the basic bolt on's IE: race headers, Y pipe, basically full exhaust. Im wondering if doing the 90/90 setup right now would be bad for the car. Or should I wait to do an intake and TB setup untill i have a cam and heads. Just spitballing here, let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

It wouldn't be bad for the car, but your gains will not be as high on a stock internals motor as a H/C motor. If you plan on a cam and heads later on then go for it. Personally I would get a H/C package first since you can get it for only a few hundred more than a 90/90 setup. Granted it all comes to the same result in the end, I'm just not that patient.

$1k for 90/90 set up = 15 hp
$300 cam + $250 springs + $150 pushrods + $150 oil pump + $50 fluid/gaskets = Considerably more then 15 hp
Either would have to be tuned so I didn't include that cost and those numbers are just off the top of my head so don't quote me on anything.

It wouldnt be "bad" like was already stated, but its overkill for what you have. You have to have a need for more flow. Pick yourself up a used LS6 intake for about ~$300. Good for about ~20 hp, especially with the exhaust mods. The Shaner S2 TB are a good bang for the buck addition too.
