Make sure you have free fowing exhaust and intake, otherwise the heads and cam are going to be choked up and you won't see the expected gains.

alot depends on what is done to the heads and what kind of cam but yes u can get 400. probly lookin at 3 to 4k before your done. the nice thing is u can do it in stages. like do the motor and headers, then the cat back. can also hold off on some of the motor additions till u can afford. like tb and injectors.

whatever u want to do on the motor. if u have the heads off the headers will be much easier to get in. and ull want to do the intake at the same time so think about what u want to do before so u dont have to take the motor apart more than once. water pump, opti, plug wires, front cover seals, etc.

gotcha... makes lot of sense. but if I get a good cam, heads, headers, and intake do I have to do anything else to be in the hight 300 low 400 hp? do I have to get bigger injecors?
