setup in sig. I gained about 50-60 hp w/ my cams (and a real good professional tune, which was another $200). But the sound... and the top end "feel" you get... is priceless I think.

You gained 50-60 hp with the Comp 270's and tune alone? Are you compairing peak to peak numbers, or not?

mrtstang, yeah about 50-60 peak HP, but the real power comes in how the cams work you through the entire RPM range. The dyno graph has a much smoother "curve" to it through the whole power ban. I wish I had a comparison pic of the before and after dyno graphs.

And yes, I absolutely without a doubt changed my valve springs out.
