I want to know which will give me the most power for the money, BC 272 cams and valve train or Methanol injection and intercooler piping?

 

personally I would buy the cams first. Then buy the alky later.

 

cams u will love it

 

meth will give you more power. I have/would do cams first. Save alky for after you do all the bolt ons.

 

+1

 

cams hands down

 

cames = safe hp

meth = need failsafe to be good, lots of boost, lots of power

 

dude personally i would say go alk injection.....
if u get a good tune on it.
Stock cams are fine for it dont go cams until upgraded turbo...
thats what im doin noww but its up to you mane just thought i say something

 

Camity Cams

 

First of all, do you have a TBE and a tune? If not; that's first and foremost!

I'd save cams personally, since you are cracking open the head and all. A lot of people do it w/o regard, but to me that's a pretty major install! Depending on your choice (264/272/280, etc) you'll see a range of gains on the stock turbo.

Meth/Alky will allow you to run more boost - and be cheaper. You're also stressing your engine more with the added boost, so factor than in.

 

Ensure that you have all the regular bolt-ons first, then do the cams. After you have cams and everything else (ss o2, ported manifold, licp, tbe, mbc, bov, fuel pump, tune), then get the alky and an FMIC - IC pipes aren't important really, but you can get them with the FMIC I guess.

JsEvo, that wasn't very good advice as a newbie. Read and learn before making suggestions like not getting cams until upgrading the turbo - that's absurd.

 

cams then alky and a wideband warr why would some one buy a ported manifold and 02 when you will get all of that with a turbo kit later just seems like a waste don't you think.

 

cams may not give as much peak power as meth... but the closer u get to redline on stock cams ur power takes a significant drop.. with cams itll give you the jump you need to keep moving the next gear.. search for be4 and after cam dyno graphs... theyre everywhere esp now cause of the ix cams... and youll see what i mean

cheers!

 

most people dont get a turbo kit...

 

Sorry, I forgot that I don't have my mods in my siggy. I have a 3" TBE, 10.5 hotside, 02 housing, megan manifold, and HKS intake. I was thinking 272 cams, springs and retainers too. But, how much would that cost to install. I am working on a budget and I'm just trying to get the most for my money now. I don't plan on buying valves because that is just to much money because then I would need head studs and head gasket. Thanks to everyone for the fast responce....
