get all your bolt on's first before you go internal! ex: intake, header. exhaust (preferably with a test pipe) then if you do get a cam get a adjustable cam gear so it can be properly dialed in and be the most benefitial to you.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

yup. you can have them made but a lot of big muffler shops won't or can buy one such as a omni power unit. the omni power unit can tuned for different pipe sizes. but to have one made would be cheaper.

Upgrading to a stage one cam isn't really worth the money..

I just recently got the zex stage 2 cam for my y8 and love it

If you do decide to upgrade the cam, invest in valve springs and an adjustable cam gear.

zex cam is basicly a d15b cam.

but if you were going to buy a cam might as well buy like exospeed stg3 witch is pretty much a crower stage 2 or a akmee cam there all great
