Just get boosted and be done with it. I know it's alot of money but I did it yesterday and can not wait to get to a track and get a couple of ET's.

It's not reasonable to expect a significant gain after all that work without some custom tuning.

It's worth it.

Im not saying you dont have some ET hiding in the current combo.
However I would have done a converter and then the cams.

I guess I can still do a converter, Ive heard the stock one is between 2600 and 2800 so i would hate to go less than a 4000 but i had a 4500 in my old vette and if i remember right the drivability was kinda crappy but that could have been the cam.

I'm not trying to rub it in I'm just thrilled. I hope it works out for you, and as others have said the tune is everything, get a good one and I'm sure you'll be squared away.

Gotta be the tune. Your car was performing similar to mine as you added the mods. I would call up brenspeed and talk with Dave.
