lt4 hot cam kit is pretty good, but now i have a cc306 cam with stock heads but to really see the maximum gains from that cam is to get better heads or port yours. the 306 pulls hard up top

catback headers and tune are def not all the bolt ons....

gears? Stall? LCA's? Subframe connectors? 58mm TB? CAI? Free Mods? DR's?

sounds like you have a pretty much stock car and just want to have 400hp to the wheels just like that.. it really dosent happen that way unless u want a blown motor... start small and work ur way up...
