Cams and long tubes?
My mods are in my sig, but the next mods I'm thinking of are cams and headers!
What type of rwhp and tq could I expect with this combo and everything else in my sig?
And if I want to do boost later down the road, would it work with high compression cams? I was thinking I would just have to turn the boost down.
Thanks in advance!

make up your mind about FI before the cams that way you can get blower or turbo cams instead of N/a cams, you'll yield a better gain.
Check out detroit rocker cams i love those. either that or cms, those are custom grinded to your needs.
If you go lt's with cams, i say 340-350rwhp

Make sure you do your research on the daily driveablity of the cams you are looking at. You dont want something you have to rev just so you dont stall at stoplights.
Cams and longtubes are a great combo to add, realize that your exhaust is gonna be way louder. So much you probably will be wanting to tame it down.

I only added flowmasters and a H Pipe after my cam install. And while it sounded awesome at idle I couldn't get over the drone. So I have since added H flow cats (Metallic for supercharger) to my exhaust and I have two layers of sound deadening material in my car. Its nice now. I have to do behind the firewall now and im done

I'm young a personally like alot of noise. So the loudness will not bother me because what I already have is loud. And there would sti be cats due to my emmissions.
Thanks for the input guys!

No dude you dont I dont think you understand. There is good loud and just bad obnoxious loud.....thats what my car was after LTs and cams. Theres loads of trumpeting and bad tone drone. Mid mounted resonators really clean up the sound. Doesnt make it much quieter just cleans it up. Before adding them just pulling out of my street onto a 25 mph road my car sounded like John Force during a burnout....I'm barely moving yet it sounds WOT. Thats not enjoyable at all and attracts all the wrong attention.
