Since you are doing the headers and midpipe, why not step up to longtubes?

Sarge - you don't list your current intake - stock?

sirsureshot - why the header wrap on what appears to be ceramic coated headers?

I'm curious too....perhaps it's just hi-temp silver paint.

Jaidedeye, if you want some of the low end back, install the TFS 1 cam 4* advanced. A friend of mine has that cam and it is a little sluggish on the bottom end. I have mine advanced and it rips. Didn't notice any loss in bottom end.

Top end is great. Advancing the cam didn't effect it at all. My sotp meter gives it 2 thumbs up.

Chris - is your buddy's set up other than cam install identical to yours? Relatively minor differences in components can make a cam/install behave significantly differently in one set up than another.

He's got a GT-40 intake and a Pro-M 75 mass air. Other than that they're the same
