    Haha thats exactly what I was thinking.

    Sorry side question, on my 3.8 v6 with a GT2 Cam upgrade from ZZperformance, can I really expect the 60rwhp increase talked about in a guide on this site? I realize I would need new pushrods, valve springs, ect. just curious to the actual gains

      With all the other supporting mods, I can see a 60 rwhp increase over stock. That'd put you around 220-230 rwhp. Others have dynoed higher than that.

          I think 60 is doable. I did the X-P Hot cam and even though it is not a N/A cam, it is similar to the GT2 in specs. I dynoed 231 RWHP N/A and that was with the injectors maxed out. You will need injectors and tuning to get the most out of that cam.

            What size injectors? With new injectors will I need a new Fuel pump too? As far as tuning, possible myself or take it to a shop?

              Not for $600.

              If you go with upgraded heads (got to if you're going for high power), expect it to cost around $2,000, assuming you install it yourself.

                Well not the 300, that was after I do everything possible. I just meant $600 for the cams + parts.

                  That's not including new heads. If you get p&p heads, just add another $1000 on top of that.
