Thinking of doing another upgrade!

Ok so I currently have
Header/DP
UDP
SRI
Custom Catback
And Hackish's Reflash

I was thinking of doing:
The v6 eclipse throttlebody
RRM Camshaft
and a ported intake manifold
and some DIY motor mounts

My question is...will a ported intake manifold really do much? I was trying to do some searching but people were saying it really only makes a difference when going turbo. Will it help out at all if I stay N/A?

I know I can easily find the TB, the motor mounts might be difficult since I really don't know where they're located. And the camshaft is a no brainer to get haha.

even on an NA i think you should still look into getting the intake manifold. however you probably will want to get the reflash done again to account for the gains you'll get with the IM

camshaft is one of those get it later things i'd say

The IM p&p is helpful na or turbo , I've had mine for around 4 years now. A new reflash wouldn't be needed as it would only help if Micheal had different flashes set up for individual mods which is very doubtful , now he "might" have a diffrent flash for the camshaft but he's a busy guy and hard to get a hold of. So good luck .

I think Hackish has made it clear that one reflash handles all NA mods. It allows the engine management system to respond to a mod without the stock ECU programming trying to over-ride it. So you only need one reflash done one time to accommodate any combination of NA mods. That's the beauty of it.

P&P intake manifold is a good mod but you will really have to tune to take advantage of it. You can't go wrong with motor mounts especially if you drive a M/T. Launching the car is completely different. When I swapped my mounts the rear was torn, and they were both a ***** to install. Honestly the most noticeable mod I've done was the cam, but its also the most expense mod to get after initial costs and install. The cams also a bit interesting of an install if you plan on doing it yourself as i found out, but easily do-able if you do your homework and have the tools.

The throttle body is something else. Definitely feel a difference but I'm having idle issues and I'm monitoring issues with my AFR gauge so I'm not so sure what to think about it at the moment.

I'd do the cam followed up by the motor mounts if I was in your position though.

^but he has the reflash though. i think that the p/p IM would be a better mod to get for now as it doesnt require as much a new tune like the cam does

Can you do the cam with out removing the head? Is there enough space by the air filter (removed) area to take out the cam? Thks
