    Depends if you're doing the work.
    $400 can buy you a cam, but won't get it installed for you [img]smile.gif[/img]

      you could get a good no2 system but don't know if you want to go that rought. And like 95 said you could buy a good cam or something else but won't be able to be installed unless you do it in your driveway.

        Where can I find a good cam for that price? Is there anything else that y'all thought about? Thanks

            how about you get a bunch of little mods, like thermo, tb spacer,plugs, wires,custom intake system, shift kit, aluminum driveshaft, headers are also in your $400 range

              Well the only headers in that range are pacesetters, and I thought they said they weren't selling anymore until they fixed their problems.
              I suppose you might find some used ones though...they're a good mod to do and fairly easy to do by yourself...just takes some time.

                          It's probably the most popular aftermarket cam. Has very nice results and is friendly with the stock computer. Seppo has it, albeit their original version with slightly different specs, but he's running the current fastest N/A times with it.

                            You can get 16HP (over your current K&N filter) out of a K&N Air Charger or FIPK for $250-$300 and install it yourself in about a hour. Another good mod would be an exhaust which would be around $400 installed. I have the Flowmaster American Thunder which didn't gain horsepower but I didn't do before and after tests with that.

                              did you dyno your aircharger to claim this or is it what it said on the box??
