If you decide to get a Cam.. whichever one you get, dont get tx speed to do your tune, try out nelson tune. I have a tsp tune and it was a noticable difference, yes, but nothing great, nothing like what ppl have been saying about nelson's tunes.

Like a few have said... if you get a cam you will be close... i'd go ahead and do some of the regular weight loss stuff too... no spare, no tailgate, no rear-bumper or just get a roll pan.. you should be there with the right cam and tune tho. Good luck.
