thats about the truth with most performance ads.

not really answering your question, but a few comments, you say your just now getting CAI, which makes me think you dont have the other bolt ons yet. you'll want to do that before you get a cam (headers, ORY, maybe even a underdrive pulley) and with that 12k-15k, you'll want to get a new rear end and beef up the transmission cause it doesnt take much for these cars to make 400+ RWHP.

Yea i figured as much my self but im no expert lol what kinda headers would you recomend i saw a trick flow kit for 3000 that had cylender headers cam head gaskets rocker arms and some other small parts it said all of this would bring me upto 500hp so i would go from 305hp to around 400hp lol i saw SCI trannys for like 2,800 that harness superchargers and around 650hp which i would really love to get a procharger which is last on my to do list for the car. i want to drop in a 9inch rear axle (pretty much bullet proof) work on my tranny my sespencion (or however you spell it lol) get a set of micky slicks on my stock rims and get new rims and of course toyo rx-7s for daily driving then procharger then i was thinking about Venom N2O donno if i want to set it at 25 50 75 or 100 it has interchangable nozzles so ill mess with it a bit but i know good and well 15000 wouldent cover all of this lol i may beable to snag a few free parks when i goto NTI just hope i dont get cougght doing so

Also if anyone else know better brands for cheaper let me know please it would greatly help me with this (i also have a 93 silverado i can use for a daily driver if i get extreamly poor gas milage with this which i probaly will with the way i drive 158mph going to ft.worth from ft. hood lol)
