Well, in my opinion, it is always better to let the engine breath better in (CAI) and out (Headers and catback) first before putting in a cam. A cam relies on good air flow, so do the headers first.

I would say go with the macs. I got 25 hp from them. And the plug access is great and install is not as hard as long tubes. Helped on both installs, big difference

25 HP! That's great. I can't wait to get mine installed. (Jet-Hot coated MAC mids and Hooker catback)

Do you have a copy of the before and after dyno sheets? I would love to see them. I've seen others get about the same HP increase but have never had a chance to see where the TQ started to increase vs. stock.

Thanks.

Hey, Thanks!

I'm assuming that you had the cutout open and you didn't have a CAT at the time of the dyno right?

That's a huge increase in torque! The HP may have only gone up by 25, but that is awesome torque for the mods that you have. 330 TQ! That's more than I see on many Hotcam cars with headers. It's just that the TQ keeps going at higher RPM with a cam so the HP numbers also go up.

Thanks again.
