I would ask some people who have done a cam swap before blowing like $2000 on them. From what I hear they get you less than 10 HP.
I am interested in hearing about this Fast Intake though.....can you give us a link or some info on it?

"Although torque did decrease a few foot pounds down low the upper RPM’s torque increased approximately 25 ft. lbs. and power jumped 25 rwhp!"
Brent wrote up a nice article with Full bolt-ons and Cams. I suggest you take a look at it before you make blind statements.[8D]

Even if it is 25 HP....is it worth $2000? Not in my book.

It's not a blind statement. If you read carefully it is simply a warning based on what I have heard. I am not going to do all his research for him and report back to him. There's nothing wrong with warning him about things I have read on this site. Plenty of people have been dynoed with minimal results, regardless of what Brent wrote in an article.

I have heard about 10 RWHP gains on a totally stock engine, but if you look at his mods, hese got a pretty nice list, so that would rule out your warning. Sorry if I am coming off as a dick, I didn't mean to sound like that on the first post.

FAST intake is not coming anytime soon and is not going to get those numbers....they have been talking about it for almost 1.5 years now and have had to completely start over i think.
Get rid of the 20s and get 18s and that will pick you up some HP
1 piece DS does not dropyou 40 lbs.....talk about blind statements!

Gears, while gaining you no HP will change the way the car gets up and goes that is for sure.
Cams are good if the install doesnt cost an arm and a leg
You really should get a custom dyno tune....the "canned" Xcal tune is really robbing you of alot of extra HP with the mods you have i would imagine.

When I skimmed through a few articles looking for the weight savings I accidentally put the weight of the stock driveshaft, which weighs 42.3 lbs. It was more of a warning by the way and not a blind statement, if you look at what I said, "They are 40(?) lbs" the (?) would suggest I wasn't sure.

Its all good...i was just laughing after what you told Dave....its still a great mod and does free up quite a bit of HP and sounds a hell of a lot better than the stock clanker they gave us.

RE: Opinions on what I should do next????
I do have a custom tune from Lonestar Performance in Garland, TX. My last upgrade was the new exhaust system with longtubes and offroad x pipe. I had the dyno at 305rwhp before those were added and was really excited and thinking I would be close to 320 when it was completed. However, like I stated earlier, I only got 5rwhp. I was bummed, until I drove her. That 310rwhp is just peak. The way she drives is totally different than before. I have been told that the 3" exhaust is what has caused the limited gains. However, I do plan on SC it someday so the exhaust is a great prerequisite. Plus I get instant road respect when I am next to someone and drop her down and hammer on it.
I really appreciate all of your feedback. I hope to get some pics up soon so yall can see her and let me know what you think.
