Smile What Performance Parts To Buy Next??

I am new to modding my car and need some advise. Recently I just bought the following for my 2002 WS-6, 6 speed:
* BBK Full length headders with Y Pipe, NO CATS
* BBK Underdrive Pullys
* SLP Cold Air kit
* Comp Cam XFI 281 Hydro Roller, Lift .571/.573, Duration 281/283, RPM Range 2200-7200RPMs.

I guess I could use advise on what is next. I am looking at a Diablo Tuner and I need a good Muffler. What gearing, Heads, Clutch,Throttle Body, Intake etc..........
Any advise will be muchly appreciated, I don't want to mess up my car, I love it! Thanks.

ummm dont buy the diablo tuner, with that donkey dick cam you'll have to get a dyno tune. also with the cam be sure to do supporting mods

Holy **** thats a big cam!
When most people talk about big cams they are talking like 24X ish cam's, but thats huge!
Thats like the john holmes of camshafts!
I wouldnt think that thing would be very driveable, are you building a straight race car? That things power curve probably looks like mount everest!
Personally I prefer a smaller cam with good power throught the RPM range.
Jesus thats big.

It's not that big. That's it's specs at probablu .002 or .006 not .050" like you are used to seeing. It's really probably around a 232 or so

Could be the website he bought it off of. I have some honda friends, and their cams are all like 262's, 272's, ect. But I think they are rated at .040. So put into .050 like our cams normally are, its alot smaller. Could just be the website, or reading the cam card differently.

You need valve springs, retainers and pushrods for that cam.

If you want to get serious call up one of the sponsors and buy a forged motor, you're going to need it if you plan on revving that high.

I Googled it and this is what a came up with.
Comp Cams 54-428-11
Operating Range: 2200-7200 RPM
Duration Advertised: 281° Intake / 283° Exhaust
Duration @ .050'' Lift: 228° Intake / 230° Exhaust
Valve Lift w/1.7 Rockers: .571'' Intake / .573'' Exhaust
Lobe Separation Angle: 112°
Looks like a pretty good mid sized street cam cam, but your defiantly going to need push rods, springs and a dyno tune, and while it's apart you really should replace your oil pump and timing chain. You might also need bigger injectors there's a fair chance you'll max out your stockers. Next you'll need a clutch, I'd go with a Monster level 2 and a Tick master cylinder.

Also, if it's not to late send those headers back, there good headers for a bolt-on only car, or even bolt-on's and a small cam, but there 1.75" primary's a 2.5" y-pipe will start choking off a heads cam car. Get some TSP 1 7/8's and 3" ORY.

It was 5 years ago probably too later to send the headers back
