Should I go with Meth or cams?

OK I have searched on this for about an hour and just cant seem to find what I am looking for. My mods are in my sig. below. I was thinking of doing one more mod before winter. It is either cams or a meth kit. I am running the stock VIII turbo with a 10.5 hotside. Which mod do you guys think I would see the most gain out of after another tune of course? If meth is the answer which kit?

You'd probably see bigger gains with meth, but cams usually come first. With both you'll need a tune. Personally, I'd go cams then meth, even though meth is soooo tempting because of the gains.

I would personally do the cams followed by a meth kit. You will obviously see more gains by getting a meth kit, but between a meth kit and cams they will both require a tune. I can vouch for the Snow Performance kit as I personally run this kit. Good luck with your decision!

Yea your really not gonna get the full potential of the meth kit without having cams in there first to help the engine breath better. Cams are a good way to get more power without worrying about too much afterwards. Get your motor running healthy with cams and a tune then get your meth and get a retune.

just talked with chris from ams I think I am going to put the meth thing in the back on my mind for the time being. Cams and a upgraded front mount is the route I think I am going to go with now. Thanks guys
