Default HP gain
Howmuch hp and torque increase could I get from a new cam, 1.6rr, and headers? What about just 1.6rr and cam? How much labor time for each? I was quoted 3 hours for the 1.6rr at $70/hr labor but I am considering doing the work myself. Will probably get a custom tune if I get these things done.

Thanks

I don't want to guess on your HP gain but you really should invest in valve springs that will handle the lift of your installed 1.6s or cam.
