Default Cams or more boost?

What would be better of the two mods? Blower cams or more boost with an fully upgraded fuel system?

It's not a problem I'm having between the two or anything. I'm just wondering which is the better mod first if you could do only one.

More Boost would probablly be cheaper than cams than cams. and the gain would be in a similar portion of the powerband.

Soooo, I say UP DA BOOST!

Lets just say the same Hp gain as cams or slightly higher.

"I'm playing mind games again" I Don't ask the question I want to know the answer to, I ask something else to get people to explore the topic. Most of the time I learn everything I really wanted to know.

I think I would do cams. And, its not for the sound. I've been told that blower cam sound pretty much stock. Blower cams make the boost more effective by getting rid of the overlap.

Modular motors love boost although cams wouldnt be bad idea. With some suspension you can put in in 12s

LOL you will be able to hear my blower cams. But yes blower cams are much better then just adding boost. You will actually get a small drop in boost from adding them since the engine runs much more effecient.

I'm not lobbing for one way or another. I just want to point out the fact that with the cams you will take some driveability out of the car. If it really is a car that you put a lot of miles on, sometimes cams can become annoying.
