cam or headers? more power?
I'm torn between the two. I wish I could do both but one will have to wait a while. The two options I have are MAC Headers(probably jet-hot coated), or a CC305. I could probably get the cam cheap, used, and just pick up some new springs, and maybe some new 1.6's. Either way it looks like my two options would be costing about the same.
The only thing that I can see that would make the 305 cost more would be the tuning.
So which one would I see more of a gain with? and which is more worth the gain as far as price and going through the process of installation?

IMO, I think you should put headers on first before a cam. Get those manifolds off of there.

cool, headers first then. With the MAC headers, is it worth the JET-HOT coatings, or are they good without the coating?
tax return in a couple of weeks! trying to decide what to do with it

I have heard too many complaints about Mac headers. I would look into Jet-Hot's own longtube headers or Hooker headers. I have SLP shorties coated by Jet-Hot but that is only cause I got a GREAT deal on them.
