BOLT ON SETUP
 
Ok I have been looking at what parts I could get for my 01 I was thinking 70mmtb/plenum, mrt catted h pipe, intake manifold, stage 1 cam and I have a catback and cai what kinda gains and times are we talking with this type of setup and I do plan on goin s/c prob next 2 years so any ideas?

Maybe around 40 hp or so. What cams are you looking at?

If you're planning on getting a typhoon intake, I wouldn't suggest it. They don't have a very good rep. I would either just get the TB/plenum combo, or I would get a Trickflow track heat intake manifold w/ a 70mm TB. And especially since you plan on going SC, skip the cams for now, do gears instead. After the blower, if you want cams for a bit more power, get a blower specific cam.

blower

Exhaust sounds fine, intake manifold is a waste of money for stock longblock, cams are pointless if youre going for s/c in the future cus n/a cams will have too much valve overlap and will allow the boost to escape the combustion chamber and therefore you wont have as much power as you would with stock cams or blower cams. the tb/plenum combo makes sense though. Gears also would work too.

That's not true

So you would make more power with purpose ground n/a cams than you would with stock cams? I thought you wouldnt cus of the valve overlap allowing the boost to escape the combustion chamber.

I have a friend of mine with the identical setup as mine except he is running comp N/A cams and dyno's about 40 hp more than me

Even certain n/a cams (most in fact) will make more power with a blower than the stockers, and blower cams will obviously do much better.
