Default Cam install: to soon and to much??

I was at the dealer the other day getting my bumper fixed for free , and my hook up told me they could put in my skunk 2 stage 3's for about 225-300 bucks... which made me say... is he really a hook up??? but other than the price, i think its took soon, since i have nothing else but a intake on my car.... think i should get it done? or leave it until I get most of my mods.. .exhaust... ect..

Wait till you get most of your mods. You can actually lose power from putting them in with just an intake and untuned.

price seems ok.. not super- you could do it yourself for about 20$ in beer. I'll admit it is intimidating at first, but if you've done one..you've done a thousand. DIY and save you $$$ for important things, like pistons and machine work.

I don't know if I would use Skunk2 Stage 3's period on a B16 let alone a bone stock SI. You will loose a lot of power especially untuned, stock motor with stock header, cat exhuast. You will hate yourself.
