Cams will def pep up your car. Gears are good mod that want net any hp gain but it will the best mod that you can buy for under $200.00....

o/r eliminates all cats. your car should come stock with 4. get a high flow catted x/h pipe. those are usually carb legal. and cams i dont think are legal anyways. could be wrong. but i know they are tight as heck over there in cali.
