something most people forget: yeah, the hot cam kit is cheap...then add about $500 for all the misc BS that you need to get it installed, or about twice that to have a competent shop do it.

not knowing anything about your car:

headers (you might already have these from your pics)
torque converter
gears
RR's with better springs

or just save up some more money and get a cam. For emissions cams look at the HOT cam, 218/224 or CC305 to be safe.

 

but you would recommend n20?

if u got alot of miles on your bottom end i whould not do a hot cam

y?

 

I vote for the hotcam, yeah there was a lot of miscelaneous crap like new opti, springs, rockers, pushrods, plug wires, heavy duty timing chain but since you want the power there all the time then a cam is the way to go! but just 500 won't get you there

 

I would be doing headers.

 

i already got the LT headers, and i looked into the hot cam kit and all the misc parts and its well over 900 bucks. I cant afford that. So i guess my next option is gears, what should i get and where can i get them?
