HEADS AND CAMS!!

huge gains, from what i've been hearing... and when you have the heads off, you might as well install some cams. think about slightly (1mm) oversizing your valves too
SSM has some heads that are flowing approx 226cfm (intake) and 176cfm (exhaust)..

RE: What are the real gains?

@ Del your talking major major mods for a guy with a totally un modded car. I don't really think the guy is looking to run a low 14 or hi 13. He is looking to add what he can before the mod bug really sets in. This car is probably under warrenty and its kinda hard to hid a cam and new heads......

Go with a take off or other muffler
Tune canned or not
Leave the header alone until you go F/I
Find a CAI
Do some gears and a posi rearend of your choice
and add to the traction LCA's lowering springs and the like.
GOOD LUCK Bender

I installed the JBA wires and when i did the S/C it actually hurt my performance on the dyno so i put the stock wires back on. So watch what aftermarket stuff you buy.
