I honestly didn't think that a K&N filter was something only for imports, how much more HP does the CAI make over the stock air box with the silencers removed. I know many people on here that have done the same things.

just remove the silencer and cut out your fenderwell to the same size as your air box, and put in a k&n filter, much more power than a cold air intake system

When you take off the air box you will probably see a ring from the foam on the air box. You want to make the hole in the fender well as big as the ai box inside hole

GEARS would be the next logical thing to get IMO. 3.73 work nice for both street and strip and won't hardly affect the gas mileage at all.

When I got my car, the exhaust was the first thing, then the gears, then the Intake and 1.7 roller rockers, 70MM TB, and next, a 70MM MAF... Gears and exhaust are the usual first things done..

i have a b-cam, its operating range isn't all that great like 3300-5500 i believe, youd prolly be better off with an e-cam 2500-5500, this cam is great for street driven vehicles and occasional track, its also reccomended for supercharged applications.
