Default CMCV & FRPP Cams

So, my plan all along was to keep my car normally aspired and I'm on the last couple mods and looking for advice.

a) Will these 2 mods work well together?

b) I have a JLT intake. Is it recommended to go with something bigger/better due to the increased flow with these mods?

c) I still have the stock mufflers. I liked the sound with the LT headers (& catted X) so, I never upgraded them because I heard they they flow well enough for an NA car. Since I'm doing more mods to increase flow/power will these mufflers hold the engine back? Will I have a bottle neck at the mufflers or are they still good enough to not impede the flow since I'm keeping it NA.

d) I'm going to do the CMCV myself and have somebody do the cams. Is there a recommended break-in period after the cam install?

thanks,

i'll give question d a shot.

after doing my cams, i took it out to get
it nice and warm, then i changed the oil.

after that, i wasn't concerned about any
special break-in....obviously you might
want to wait for a few heating/cooling cycles
before taking it to the track.
