all day long!!! but that would be something else to look into in the future. just make sure if you upgrade the injectors you upgrade the fuel pump or you wont get the volume of fuel to it its wanting.

K, cool.

One last question for tonight, lol...

Which BBK headers do you recommend? Also how much shorter are they compared to factory headers?

Will I need equal length or no? Ceramic recommended I'm guessing?

ceramics and just get the shrties for your year model and all. im telling you though i would check out the PYPES brand headers they arent much more if any and you can get them whatever finish you want. the main thing is they are 304 stainless steel which means they wont ever rust and they have a lifetime warranty. check em out, just put in pypes exhaust on a search engine and it will bring ya right to them

Cold air intakes are expensive... specially if I want a bigger meter with it.

When looking at the picture of this CAI, it shows it having a meter already just before the filter? Or is that something else and the meter is at the other end? :O

Do you have any videos of the PYPES headers in action? Would like to hear 'em as I can only find V6's with them
