Default Rev-Up cams or Jwt Clutch/flywheel and 3.9 fd

Well, after looking more into the cost of putting in the new jwt rev-up cams. 1200 for cams. 900 for utec. plus xxxx for installation and tuning.
I think i just may get the JWT clutch/flywheel combo, and a 3.9 FD.

What do you guys think. acceleration wise, should the drivetrain options be comparable to the cams.

I would love to do the cams just to see where I could get in temrs of HP, since it would be uncharted territory for a NA rev-up. But it would just be to much money for and 18whp gain.

I honestly think that is probably a pretty good alternative to get the same seat of pants feel, if not a little more in terms of acceleration. The 3.9 really makes a noticeable difference, and anything to lighten the drive train can't hurt. IMO, cams NA are really one of the last changes to make. I'd like to do them myself, but weighing the trade-offs has got me dragging my feet on them too. I wouldn't want anything real aggressive, no idle issues or anything, so for the cost the gains wouldn't be incredible.
