Default Mod Install Order

I plan to make some mods to my stock 03Z and had questions about the order. My plans are relatively conservative. I was thinking Long Tube Headers, Cam and Borla Stinger Exhaust.

My question is does it matter what order they are installed? I tried searching but was unsuccessful. Also, does anyone know the approximate cost of a Cam install in the DFW area?

Thanks

I would just do it all at once and have it tuned. There is no order.

If finances force to do it in stages then......

1st borla stingers, I say this because they will require no tuning after they are installed, but dont expect much power gain.

2nd, headers, they dont "need" tuning, however it is a good idea to get the car tuned to maximize HP gains and fuel economy

3rd cam, I say this because I would not install a cam without headers..... you could but it would hold you back big time.

I would try and do #2 and #3 together, thatway you wont have to get more than one tune.

Stingers, LT's and then Cam...in that order would be recommendation. Having said that; the first mod before any of those three should be a good CAI like Vararam or Callaway Honker...at least do a search for the "zip tie" mod!
