Default A few ?'s

Just wanted to throw a few questions out there to see what you guys would think, right now I have a stock y8 on an ebay kit with just headstuds, running 10 lbs with stock head, would it be worth it to throw a cam, springs, and retainers in there and if so what would you guys recommend, just trying to get a few more ponies out of the setup without turning up the boost since it's a DD....if so what other things would you guys recommend?

My other question would be what oil do you recommend I use since the cold weather is coming (New Jersey) for my setup, appreciate all of the advice....

Save your money and invest in a more reliable turbo setup. If that ones working for you, that's great, but many people have problems with them.

Street tuned on 10 pounds with Uberdata, would a dyno tune help my cause for some extra HP?

Quite likely. A dyno definitely makes dialing in a spark map a lot easier. Dialing in a fuel map with a wideband but without a dyno can get decent results, but the ignition timing is often more important for peak power.
