Default Intake manifold

Hey guys, its me again. I want more power without going internal. What should I get? I was thinking about a cam, havent made up my mind yet. How bout intake manifold? I already have CAI, but dont want the hassle of heads yet, or the expense.

If you don't have rear end gears yet go with them. They might not make any more horses but they'll make a big difference in your acceleration. If you want more power, go with headers, x or h pipe, and top it off with a 100 shot of juice. You won't even think your driving the same car. Oh yea and get use to ear to ear smilin.

1. Save money for heads.
Then go with headers, x-pipe,and mufflers. Then make sure you have good ignition, intake, maybe roller rockers or even underdrives. Maybe after all that, look into get 3:73 gears or even a shot of nitrous.

No man, heads are in the future, I have too much else to do right now. I just want a few more horses to hold me over. One question I have though, suppose I dont get a cam, is there any benefit to getting an intake? Or wont it help till I have better air flow inside the engine?

I am sure you will see some gain, but it will not be optimal until you get the heads and cam.<edited><editID>Sean</editID><editDate>37834.7840625</editDate></edited>
