Lose the Hyper junk. Get a Black Bear Tune, the link is in my sig. Price of a much better tune is on there site. Do LT headers.

I got my cam springs and rods for about $600.. I do all my own work though... I figure install would take up the leftover $... I agree tune is hands down best gain before cam... I also did the TB stall and WOW what a difference also. Nitrous is always in the back of my mind though.. with a window switch of course
