HEADS, CAM, INTAKE, NOS
Has anyone installed a heads, cam, intake package on thier car? I was wanting to do this setup on my 2002 coupe with a 100 shot of NOS. I was wondering if someone else has a similar setup? I can't decide between a heads, cam, intake package or a supercharger, twin turbo kit. I was told the twin turbo kit or heads, cam, intake with a 100 shot was the best setup for a C-5. Has anyone heard anything different or can recommend a different setup?

1) Leave the engine stock, get ATI SC installed and gain about 150+ rwhp
All for about 5K + install
2) Install Nitrous 150 shot for about 1K + Install
3) Heads/cam/Intake/pulleys/headers + NOS would be about 5K +install and can gain
you 100rwhp for the NA power and 100-150 for the NOS
You mentioned twinturbo:
Do that if you have the money...........LPE gets 650 hp (at the engine)
out of that (but tahts for 20K).
Or 750hp with the C5R engine (50K).
ARE will have a cheaper twinturbo alternative soon, watch out!!
There are so many options....just see what you want and what you can pay!!

Welcome to the forum
Use the search function. You'll get caught up quickly. Also, feel free to email the tuners on the forum (to your right) and they will get back with you on power/cost/options etc. You really can't go wrong with any of the tuners on the forum.
ARE just released their heads/cam/supercharged solution. Might want to look into that for a cheap way at a realiable, driveable, affordable 500rwhp. Also, they're coming out with the cheaper twin turbo package, but no one knows when...
Heads/cam/intake/nos is pretty tested and done mostly. ATI's supercharger is the newest blitz it seems. Turbo solutions are still costly and only really have Lingenfelter behind them so far.
Stick around and you'll learn much grasshopper ;) :cheers:

SC the power will always be there!
NOS, gotta make sure the tank is full.
If it were me, SC all the way. But here in CA gotta be CARB certified and there isn't one yet!

take the time to check several sig's. you'll see what people are runnin with. NOS is the cheapest, best bang. but, if you have $$$$$$ to spend. ARE has a S/C + heads/cam package sorted out. then, of course, is the big daddy of them all......LPE 427TT.

Hey rwj383,
How did you mount your blow down tube? Did you have to drill a hole to get outside or did you connect the tube to a line and run that line out?
Thanks
-Tuan
