Default HP Gain ?

I have a 98 with a Large CAM and Long Tube Headers with High Flow CATS Dyno'd at 465 HP at the RW;I would like to get to 500HP at the RW.

What would be the least expensive route ?

Good lord! You got 465 at the wheels with just a cam headers and high flow cats? Stock displacement? What kind of cam? I have to see this Dyno sheet

A good set of heads like Trick flow or AFR and a Fast intake should get you there. Assuming the dyno you were using wasn't overly optimistic. NOS would be be least expensive route

I agree but I think your hp numbers are inflated.
