I was gonna do a supercharger but I figure I'd do it as my last and final engine mod.

Here is what I was thinking as my next set of mods. C&L MAF,SLP xpipe and headers, Steeda T/A, 24# injectors and cams.

If I were to get the cams, would I need the injectors and T/A?

Actually, would I have any problems getting all these mods at once? If I should leave anything out, let me know.

How much does it typically cost for a header install and cam install? Since Im thinking of doing the headers, should I also change out my kmember to a tubular design?

Some of the mods you listed might be affected by your choice in your s/c. What type of s/c did you have in mind?

injectors and timing adjust will be useless with a blower later

Out of the mods you have listed, I would go with the exhaust mods. Those will always help performance, especially with a power adder. I would wait on the injectors b/c they will probably be a waste NA. Wait to get any of the other mods until you find out what will come with your kit.

I would look into a forged bottom end kit before I would the cams and such because of the future possibility of a blower , you wont have to worry about such things later holding up , because cams need to be ground for NA or blower , so that would be shot in the foot to slap a blower on a car that has specifically ground NA cams in it .

Ok now things are making sense. I'm glad that you all have shed some light on doing things to the car. So, no matter what I will be safe doing Xpipe and headers. The bottom was mentioned, whats involved with that?

Wouldn't that be forged pistons, rods, and crank?

YES , then slap a crap load of boost on it and watch the HP go through the roof with peace of mind .
