I have pypes long tubes with catless x pipe. I put frpp hot rod cams in about a month ago sound awesome and has a definate hp increase.
|
I did Comp Cams, longtubes and delete plates back in 2008. I netted 42 rwhp and like 11 lbs torque on Brenspeeds dyno. Both the before and after were on Brenspeeds dyno just at different days but similiar weather conditions.

frpp hotrod cams, stainless works lt's+full exhaust (no cats). Can't say how much power I gained for just those two because I did multiple mods both times. I'd say 35-40rwhp is for sure reasonable for the two mods.

THAT sounds meaner'n hell, brother......I got about 2k for a budget right now, and cams had made the list, but I'm still kinda on the fence about headers or intake and TB......most of what I've read is that cams and headers are the combo, and she do sound like a dragster......:D
BTW, what gain are you supposed to get with the delete plates?? Deletes are good for 8-10 rwhp |
Well I changed my mind on the cams cause I don't know anyone who could install them just a shop which will probably cost a good chunk of cash. Cams aren't cheap either, might just go with the long tubes and delete plates, what do you guys think.

You will still feel a difference with long tubes and delete plates. Not as much an cams but there is still a horsepower gain. Its going to be a good choice either way. It just depends on how much you are willing to spend.

I have delete plates, cold air intake, under drive pulleys, bbk throttle body, cams, long tube headers, sct 93 octane tune, 3.73 gears thats it for performance mods
|
Are the delete plates worth the money? Probably even more benefiical with a SC? It seems like Steeda really is the only brand out there?

Keep in mind you'll need a tune with them as well. If you buy them from the same place you got your cai+tuner from they'll usually give you a new tune for the plates for free. Also keep in mind that the aftermarket intake manifolds delete the plates as well. If you have any intention of the frpp or cnl intakes, don't bother with delete plates. |
i have a 06 with steeda UDP, steeda CMCV delete plates, FRPP hot rod cams, air aid cold air intake, pypes LT headers, no cats, borla stingers, brenspeed tune, mine made 332 RWHP and 321 RWTQ.

Almost the same setup as me and i made 337 rwhp

Cams and long tubes.
I know this is a old thread but, I just bought a lot of mods for my 06. I just bought hot rod cams, bbk long tubes and made about 35+ more hp. 340 rwhp. My other mods are jlt cold air intake, bbk o/r x pipe, pypes cat back, and S.r. Underdeive pulleys. I plan on buying fr intake manifold and tb. But if I were you cams are expensive but if you can find the right guy to tune you right, they're worth it.

Why?
They even went so far as to tell me that I shouldn't get rid of my old stock intake manifold, so if I ever go with a centrifugal s/c I can still keep a decent torque curve at the low end. I guess it depends what you want it for but I heard you already lose low end with the hot rod cams, I can only imagine it would get worse |
