    Since my HHP Stage 2 project went poof with the Lehman disaster im looking for some more power but with a smaller budget.

    I found a ported and polished intake for a great price. Is this worth to do with stock heads? I know a tweak of my CMR B&G tune will be required.

    I may be adding Kooks LT's and catalytics too coated this time.

    What do you guys think?

    PnP manifold will do nothing for you without heads/cam and all the goodies.

    How do you like your shot of nitrous John? If I was at the track ALL the time "I" think it would be a great investment. If not...there are much better mods for everyday driving.

    Well you might wanna just get a price from Josh for the parts and find another shop for the install. Also try Inertia. I run Stu's heads and spartan cam and it's fast as hell.

    Tony a Zex kit will be the biggest bang for buck.Put you low 12's,high 11's on a 100 shot for less than $1k.

    Hey Tony, I'll have a HHP stage 1 cam for sale very soon if you're interested. It's not the biggest cam out there that's for sure, but it still makes some good top-end power.
