Hey Brian....that's a good idea as well....install the intake 1st, then headers :D

Geeez.. a free labor offer.. usually those go pretty fast!!! ;) oh well, I must be getting older.. :nonod:
You know I'd take ya up on it in a hertbeat but with the large caravan coming up this year, I don't know if we could all detour :D....I seriously appreciate the offer, honestly :D :cheers:

I guess I'll post the dissenting opinion.

If you do it all at once, and are not pleased with your gains, you can't be sure which part isn't contributing the expected gain. With knowledge of what each individual piece adds to horsepower you might make different mod choices next time around. Maybe you'll find the gains from the intake weren't worth its cost.
I agree, I race Camaro's it's one thing at a time and document document and more document, this way you know where the gain's come from
