If you buy these cams from an authorized FRPP dealer and have them install them does it void your new car warranty??

i've got the comp cams nsr stage1 and i love them..i dont have the sound of the hot rod cams, but i didnt want the sound i wanted the performance and i truly got it. i know i wouldnt be able to feel 10 or 15 hp but i could feel the cams but it also helped to that i also got a tune upgrade with them too

I wonder what gains would be seen with just headers? Or is the 25-30 gains additional to what you would gain from doing headers?

The 30 from Hot Rods is after CAI and Headers are already on.

So CAI/Tune is typically ~25, then adding headers (LT) to that is about 20 (40 w/ FI) and then 30 with hot rods last.

I also want to add Hot Rods did not hurt my MPG. Some it does, some it does not for whatever reason. I still get 25+ highway between 70 and 80 mph. The city is still around upper teens.

So my average (50/50 city/highway) is still 20-21 (21-22 in the summer since there's less traffic due to no school).

gabb, you dont need headers for gains. i have hotrods and picked up 20 rwhp with stock logs. you just need a good dyno tune.

wow thanks for all the great info! keep it comin! i eventually plan on forced induction as well? are these cams blower friendly or would i need to upgrade to actual blower cams? and how bad is the install i live 45 minutes away from brenspeed but the price for install is SALTY at least i know it would get done right though. And mpg is kind of a concern for me but if its not a drastic amount im not worried.

gafireman- your car sounds and looks sick end of story.
SirKnightTG- Do you still have the stock 3.31's?

Yes, but I'm planning on 4.10s perhaps. I have an auto.

But, when tuned right, the Hot Rods drive 99% like stock (as far as drive-ability that is). I have a Brenspeed tune and I feel no low end loss. It feels great and super responsive all over.

Oh and 750 idle FTW!
