$500 won't go a long way. It might buy you headers, but it won't pay to install them.

TB/Plenum

already got the cold air bud


But Headers and i guess shorty x pipe. i might be able to install them myself over a weekend

I have the sniper special forces and its nice but how do i teak my tune even further than fuel..gear ratio and timing? and anyone know how far or less i could move the timing to increase hp? im lost when it comes to that



EDIT: just got to messing around with sniper, how do i adjust timing? it has MAF and tire height and gear ratio but i cant find timing

If you can do it yourself, I'd say cams. You can get them for just over 525 shipped if you register on his site. They are not regrinds and they are best cams to get IMO if you're not wanting to change springs. The only cams that i like that are similar are the 262ah's by comp. Cushmans react better to Nitrous and other bolt ons. (No matter what though, once you start reaching 300rwhp NA getting more Hp is like splitting hairs.

+1 on a set of cams, although a short shifter is a necessity. Skip the TB and plenum, they're not worth any money.
