Default Presents for my Baby

After talking about doing it since I bought the car almost two years ago I finally ordered a set of Dynomax Ceramic Coated headers. Oh, and a new set of Taylor wires :D :D

It's gonna be a long hard wait for them to be delivered :smash:

Now, the question is which should be next, a new cam or flowmasters?

Any recommendations for the cam? This is pretty much a stock L-48 except for an Edlebrock Performer intake and Edlebrock QJ.

I still have the stock 3.08 gears, so as you can imagine, my low end torque is non existent. I'd like to increase my 0-60 time.

If you do not have 2.5" tubes, I would get new tubes and the mufflers, then look into the cam, heads, crank, pistons, intake, carb ...........

Lot of planning needs to go into any mod. All your part have to work in harmony and work for what you want to accomplish. What do you use the car for, weekend cruising, drag strip, daily driver, combination, what rpm range do you drive, auto or stick... list that and some cam experts will chime in. Might think of throwing a balancing h-pipe on it with those headers, I need to.

Right now I have no problem running 100mph plus. However, it takes me a while to get there. I'd like to run some autocrosses with it and have some good clean fun from a stoplight. That said, getting 0 to 60 faster would be one of my goals. I'd still like to be able to cruise around 80mph without burying the tach so I don't want to go very low with my rearend. A 200r4 swap is not out of the question but I'm not ready to go that far yet.
