Question guys. Im on a budget so I need a few opinions. Im putting Im putting in mhs stage 2 cams in a couple weeks. Ill have a couple bucks left in the budget when im done. In your opinion what would be more beneficial to me. A new TB and plenum or a front and back strut tower brace with subframe rails?
thanks guys

I'd go with subframe connectors and control arms instead of strut tower braces

mrtstang

Personally i'd do the SFC's and tb/plenum at this point. Do you have long tubes already? You want your car to breath as well as possible now that you have cams.

harbre32

No I don't have long tubes. I hear they area bit** to put in

mrtstang

They are a pita to install, but well worth it when you start digging into the motor.

harbre32

What kind of power gains can I get with them? Are aftermarket shortys worth anything?

mrtstang

Short tube headers are worth very little from what i've seen. At least not enough to justify the install, when you could just do long tubes. It's not so much the peak numbers that you'll get with long tubes in my experience (you might get 10 hp or so at the peak) as it is the area under the curve.

LTs with cams will put you over 300 rear wheel with a good tune. I'd say they are worth the investment and to get it tuned all at once

mrtstang

Actually it's very unlikely that he'll get 300 rwhp, unless he gets a happy dyno.

Idk if there worth it right now for the money. For the LT plus the X
