Default Which adds more power in your opinion?

I either want to do stage 3 Comp Cams and the CMCV economy delete plates, or I want to do longtube headers and a catted x pipe by Dynatech and steeda underdrive pulleys and the CMCV economy delete plates.... I dont know which one would give me more power... anyone have any ideas? Both would run around the same price range of 2 grand... and I am going to dyno tune the car with either selection...

thats what I kind of figured, and I was reading some dyno numbers posted on the cams, and it only ended up being about a 20 hp gain to the wheels, which can be achieved through longtubes and x with the udp's and CMCV's... (maybe even more)...


by the way, you have a really good looking car.

I remember reading a thread not to long ago about how someone was real dissapointed with the results from the cams. If you do a search im sure you can find it. My vote would def be for LTs.

I just installed my MAC LT, (Note: the MACs are not real longtubes, More like midtubes.... longer than shorties but a bit shorter than longtubes) with custom O/R H-Pipe and MAC A/Bs, OMG!!! the sound along with the HP gain... my car flies now!... imagine real longtubes! Trust me, Go with the longtubes! screw the lil hp gains... Im so happy that I don't want the UDPs nor the deletes....(for now)

buy a supercharger or turbo for a nice hp boost. other than that power is not usually an opinion, its facts from the dyno and the mods you listed will give you different numbers. do this option for the most gain in hp...

"longtube headers and a catted x pipe by Dynatech and steeda underdrive pulleys and the CMCV economy delete plates"

what you do to your car should be your opinion no one elses.

Before you get cams, if you want to get the best gains out of cams when you get them, you will need longtubes,mufflers,C&L racer,cmdp's,and udp's.
