Long tube headers are better than shorties, you will make more power but they cost more and the installation is a lot more involved.
Cams, are your camshafts. I'm sure SHM makes a set of cams for you car but are they really worth it. My opinion, no. You would be hit hard with the labor and void your powertrain warranty for a not so significant gain. I would put that money toward getting a supercharger or your other mods.
Everything else looks good

Okay, y'all, I'm slowly comming up with my semi-official list of mods, but I have some questions, so I'll ask along the way.
Full length headers (I've heard these are better than short, true? anything else I need to know about them?)
O/R H pipes
Full catback
Cams (okay, what are they? I keep hearing about them, but no clue)
Shocks, struts, springs, C&C plates, sway bars, tire bushings (???)
Gears (3.73)
Desensecharger CAI
Shaker Hood (Not likely, but I can dream...)
Chip
King Cobra Clutch
Steeda race wing
What do y'all think?
Man, I'm gonna have to sell a lot of knives.

sounds like some good choices. im not a big mod motor guy, so i cant add too much, but from what i know...you will get better performance out of the longtubes over shorties, but as 5.0's said...there a pain to install. i dont know how much performance you would get from changing cams, but most guys ive seen running quick with mod. motors are still using the stock cams.
i personally love the sound of an x-pipe on modulars, but i guess thats more upto you on the sound YOU want. (*hypnotizes erich* you want an x-pipe, you want an x-pipe)
and if you dont go for the shaker...doesn't cervini's make a ram-air hood for the newer stangs? a friend of mine got 2/3mph more onto his 1/4 mile time just adding the hood. just a thought.

Okay, so why is it TJ tells me they're a waste if everyone else is telling me they are good.I think I'll be putting off the modding again for a little while so I can get some more money and plan this out a little better.

You are talking about long tubes right? The reason he is probably saying that it won't be that much more of gain in HP over shorties, probably wants to save you some money also. The advantage of long tubes really starts to come into play when you are making some serious power. On a near stock car the HP advantage is nothing impressive. Its not like shorties are very restrictive themselves. I run them on my convertible, I put down over 300rwhp. If I switched to long tubes I wouldn't expect getting more than 10rwhp more. Now with heads, intake, and cam I would expect the switch to long tubes to add around 30rwhp over my shorties. To me long tubes are not worth the added work and money to put them in on near stock car.
I say skip any sort of shorty or long tube header right now, get an off-road H-pipe and cat-back. Then later on I would wait till you had a blower or nitrous on the car before considering going to long tubes.
yeah, that was a great show, glad i made it up thereOriginally posted by david97gt46
