Alright, well I'm going to be adding cams to the stang here pretty soon and I need to know a good set-up to run with the mods I already have.
So here's the list of performance parts i have so far: Diablo sport tuner - bbk X pipe, no cats, with flowmaster mufflers- bbk intake- 3.73 gears- 150 zex wet shot

That's It as far as performance goes...I will be ordering bbk shorty headers at the same time as the cams (Dont think I need any LT's until I start to do some headwork, or build the engine....plus I dont want to have to buy another mid-pipe)

Any and all opinions will be appreciated, also web-sites with prices would be helpful.

Longtubes coupled with cams is a good investment. Without the longtubes, you wont be getting the full gains that the cams can deliver. Do NOT waste your time spending the money on shorties or taking the time to install them. I am telling you the truth when I say you are better off keeping the stock manifolds untill you go longtubes.

There are alot of good cam choices, but for an off the shelf cam many people are trying HiTec and seeing great results...

I agree. Do the long tubes first.

You can do the cams and then the long tubes later. I had some rally nice gains with my cams.

Are you doing it yourself?
