Looks like a little interest anyway. You guys had some interesting persective on cams. I agree the SVT cams are pretty good, but with more CR they may have room for improvement?? Sent a e-mail to Piper cams, UK to see if they can do anything for us. Not sure if these would be cost effective or not - may run $1000 so I will not be doing this anytime soon.

Certainly, the first steps for our engines is the exhaust (headers, Y-pipe, catback) and intake filter. This is worth about 20HP, and would not even think about the other mods until all trhis was done.

What do you think about boosting compression with thinnner, solid copper head gaskets & some milling? Any thoughts how much increase we could get without valves hitting.

I'm hoping we wil have some better ECU options than superchips. The Diablo chip sounds interesting. SHO-Shop may also make a LPM for the SVT. With the exhaust opened up, a good ECU upgrade may be truly benificial. I dont know why alot of people want to chip first - this should be last and dyno optimized.
