Default Time?

Well almost exactly 72 hours to the minute from picking up my baby at the NCM, I hit 500 miles. I went by a tuner shop here in Memphis and got a quote on bumping up the HP. I was told to do a Cam,Head,Intake,Install my AR headers, install my exhaust, thermostat, and Install my cold air intake would cost right at $8,000.00. Is this about right? and Is it too soon to do this or should I wait a few more miles?

Get it done. If you took the tour of the plant you would have noticed that they run the car on the dyno right from start up.

I did the buyers tour (as well as the NCM delivery) and rode in my car when they put it on the rollers. He was pretty easy on it and the computer told him to take it only to 67 mph. But the tour guide told me the engine plant dyno's every engine prior to shipping to the plant.
