Default cams

well i wanted a power pack but i saw they can throw the check engine light if the fuel doesnt match the added air flow. So i think i am just going to go with cams for now. Would i see a difference with only the cams or does it not do as much with out the heads and upper and lower intake manafold.

im pretty sure you just could get bigger (probably 24-30#) injectors an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and you might need a better fuel pump (depending on what your stock one flows, i dont know offhand) to compensate for a power pack if you're serious about getting one.

yea i just do not what to get the power pack and put that 3 grand in the car and then have to put another grand for new injectors after the power pack i was planning on slowly saving up for a SC which would require me to get injector and larger fuel pump. i just dont want to have to throw alot of extra money in if something didnt work out. So i figured get the cams, then save up for the rest and do it al at once so i wont have to worry about it.

i think i am going to call super6motorsports and see what they suggest. But i saw it could throw the check engine like on their site. But i think that was for the stage 2+ and 3. Maybe if i got with the stage 2 i wont have a problem.

I was thinking about doing this. Iv been saving up for months for a supercharger, iv got like 900 now (i dont have a job yet). But i think i might just get the stage 2+ power pack. Can these run on stock engines? Or would ya have to get extra stuff like tuner chips or whatever else you might need? I might just spend the money on smaller things like 4.1s, iv been seriously wanting one for a while now.
