Default IF you had the money?

would you get cams
or
lowering springs, BBK TB, plugs and wires, catted x pipe
or
OTHER (please explain)

Both would prob run the same price after the install price of the cam
My mods are in my sig so i am running out. I do not want to go FI now due to the fact that i have a tlok and it will rip apart and dont want to throw the extra 800 or so dollars to go FI.

yea i agree. I talked with my mustang shop and they mostly do v8 work and said i could see much of a gain but i think its because they do want to work on v6's. They quoted me at 1500 if they order the cam and install

a CAM... don't know where you people get cams from.. But I personally think you should get the lowering springs/rims... got to get rid of the 4x4 look plus those make your car a whole 100x better..

seriously it really pisses me off when shops look down on you by coming to them to do work on your V6...jesus effing christ!....does it MATTER what kind of car you get PAID to work on??...not that i even LIKE my V6...i hate having a 6er but it pisses me off MORE to go into a shop to have work done and get sh*t for having a V6!!!!

well the same shop did some work for my dad that has 07 gt. And he got pulleys, exhaust, tuner, intake put on and it dynoed at 300 to the wheels. So i got my dad to ask while he was there and he told him it wouldnt do any thing so now he doesnt want me to get the cams cause the guy at the shop said i wouldnt get much out of it. Only like 10 to 15 Hp. I was like damn 15 hp that aint bad. Guess we are happy when we get hp increases over 10. But v6 doesnt respond as well to mods i guess
