Cams cost around $800 to install unless you can do it yourself. I'd at least go with a plenum spacer and maybe some sway bars.

cams+install will basically eat up that entire 1500. I would suggest test pips or high flow cats, motordyne 5/16th plenum space (if you have the revup engine get the MREV2 also) and possibly a tune or spend the rest on cosmetic stuff

I would say save it (maybe invest) and save towards FI if that tickles your fancy.

HAHA...FI (eff-eye), not F1. FI is Forced Induction (meaning turbocharged/supercharged)

Since your in Atlanta I would give Forged Performance a call. They can help you in the right direction.

My paypal is .............
That is a clutch and maybe an oil cooler to me.





Serious though, decide what your ultimate goal is. If you plan to go FI down the line, save it or buy things that you can use when you go FI. You could also save a little bit more and go w/ a front BBK or suspension stuff.

Exhaust + headers. But that will cost north of $1500 but below $2000.
