Save up for the FI, you know you're going to end up with the turbo later and the cam might be counter productive.

TURBO!!! you know you liked it when you rode in my truck....

If you want a cam with the turbo, look for a 2004 Z06 cam

Dont let bill bother you, he dont know what he is talkin about...

both! a nice 220ish cam and a single stage nx kit is the best bang for the buck you'll find. with a converter and tune you'll be set.

Definitely go turbo if you can afford it. But there is nothing sexier than a quick, badass truck that’s N/A. Im just not a fan of spray.
