Front lip would be nice. Is the car fully paid for? If not, put it to your payments.

sorry I didnt notice he had a cold air, I read to fast. I would disagree though and get the intake manifold before the cams.

If you get the CTR intake cam, make sure you have enough money to get it tuned.

I say buy cams before you waste your money on that skunk2 IM. Or just save a little more and get your NO2 setup. You could probably find a whole kit for $300 used. The CTR cams will show a greater gain than the skunk2IM, but I would consider getting it later on down the road.

Get a used nitrous kit. You will get the best hp for your buck from that.

I'm kinda biased against nitrous, so I vote for the CTR cams. You should still see some gains untuned, but not as many as you would with tuning.

I'm just wondering, why are you biased against nitrous?
