bolt on power

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what simple bolt ons add to rwhp? I tore my car down last weekend because the trans went out. Decided to go further installed mac headers, flowmaster exhaust, 52mm throttle body, stall convertor and new computer tune. Was also thinking about adding a crane227 cam as I am close to tearing the cam out also probably 1.6 roller rockers. Is it worth the cam or will just the bolt ons give me the seat of the pants feel I am hoping for?

I am sure with those mods you will notice a definite SOTP feel. But of course with a cam you will notice even more!!!!

nice cold air kit,headers, stall a must on automatic car,cat back, hold off on the 52mm tb, yes a cam will give you some awesome power. all depends on what you want to spend and what you want out of the car.race car, daily driver,etc.....

I forgot to mention I allready have the cold air kit. I was hoping to get into the 14's with just bolt ons but at 4500 feet above sea level not sure it will happen.

Not many understand the importance of DA and track times.
