Should I do Headers Next then Cam?
I'm waiting on my Varaam Intake that I ordered today. I already put Corsa catback exhaust on. Should I put longtubes on next or cam, springs, and rods??? Thanks for any help...

If you do the headers by themselves and no tune, your AFR could be lean, at a couple shops here in So. CA, on some before-tune dyno pulls, some cars are in the 14:1 range.
If you do headers only, once you select your brand, talk to a good tuner. Tell him your set up, brand of headers and ask him if you will be OK to run the car w/o a dyno tune. My guess is that if you do this, you will be lean, but the question is how lean.
Thus, Headers + Cam + dynotune (pay for it once)
