Well I havent seen that. I put stage 1 comp cams in my 5.4L f150 and saw an 8hp gain on the dyno... Some engines are different, but for the cost, I would wait untill more mods are done to add cams.

I'd buy bbk or mac ceramic coated long tubes, with a shorty mid pipe and then save up for the install, or try to tackle the install yourself. Have you considered nitrous??

When i installed my comp262ah's the stock timing gears were off huge. i was advance 8* on the driver side and -2* on the passenger.
If i would have just went with a straight up install i would have had ptv for sure.

get a tuner and u can tune it yourself...and get a o.r midpipe and you can install that yourself too...so that is $540 right there and you have 160 to to buy what ever you want with.

RE: mod suggestions with my budget?
In my first post I was asking about mods besides exhaust, but yea I've considered juice and of course FI. But dad wont let me haha. [:@]
I want some more power, I'm thinking its gonna cost more than 700 bucks for what I want to feel. I might as well just get a midpipe. Will a prochamber help my flow/sound out? I think I need cats for inspection (i have no hook ups), and I dont want to mess with MIL eliminators. Whats the cheapest place I could get one? And can I install it myself? I have a 2.5" catback, will it fit? Stock headers too.

go to RPMoutlet.com and get the tuner UDP package for $450...
i know people say RPMoutlet sux, but it looks like an awsome deal...somthing to think about!

RE: mod suggestions with my budget?
Tuners are garbage, I really dont know why everyone loves them. The only thing I've liked them for is bumping down my timing with nitrous and resetting my speedo. I felt little gains even on a 93 octane tune. To me, it felt like a waste of 500 dollars. With the wasted money on a accufab tb/plenum and the worthless tuner, I decided to get some spray. I couldn't be happier with my decision.
