Default headers and cams - opinions?

Hi Experts and Enthousiasts,

I was browsing the FRRP website and saw cams and headers advertised with a potential 50HP gain and engine reminiscent of old muscle cars...Has anyone tried these parts, and what is your opinion?

I already have a Whipple H.O., which really was the best decision so far as using the car as a DD with major instant torque. Rather keep on the path of meaningful mods.

Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback (see url for parts)

i won't say you should or shouldn't do these
mods, there are just too many variables. what
i will say though, is that i love my setup and have
no plans to change it, any time soon.

for a DD i would stick with the HO kit and call it a day. that is plenty enough power for the street. those are heads in the link, not headers, and theres no need for them unless you are going 550+rwhp. the cams would add a nice sound tho.

btw, Hammer, how are those KR mufflers treating ya? i know its been a long quest for the perfect sound.
