Default Want Cams, what do I need? This is what I have so far

My 02 GT has

3.73s
O/R Xpipe Flowmaster exhaust.
C&L Cold Air intake with MAF
Get tuned tomorrow

taking it my shortthrow shifter has nothing to do with things.

Any big upgrades needed? Throttlebodie, Injectors, Plug wires, anything before or anything recommended?

Are you getting dyno tuned? I would think that you'd have to get tuned again if you were to put cams on. If this is a near future upgrade, I'd wait til I got the cams in.

Good point. No need for a tuning yet. You WILL need one after cams. The TB/plenum would help a bunch

Cams? Okay. What about porting your heads to open up more air intake? One goes with the other. If you are going to do it, do it right.

You also need to ask yourself if the cams are worth the almost $2000 it wil cost to buy them, install them, and get it tuned...

i think its worth it, i just did mine, it really sets your car apart with the sickass idle, the power is very noticable in the mid and upper end, i mean its no supercharger, but its somthing different
