CAI
Pulley
Shorty headers
Tune
True duel
Flowmaster 40
8.8 rear with 3.73's
65mm TB
224 .55/.55 1.7 cam

the usual bolt on goodies

Pulley, exhaust and cam are the only things that are going to make power... all depends on the tune from there.

I agree, the cam with little to no head work won't do much.

On heart breaker dynos split ports put down between 155-170 rwhp depending on the tranny and outdoor conditions.

CAI - 3 rwhp
Exhaust - 5 rwhp
Pullies - 4 rwhp
Tune - 5 rwhp
Cam - 10-15 rwhp

That's a total of 27-32 rwhp over stock. Keep in mind people with stage 2 ssm kits only put down 190-210 rwhp.
