what next?

so i have an 03 viii and my mods are as follows : Power Enterprises Intake, Hallman Evo MBC, BR 3" "Bullet" TBE, E-bay O2 housing, Forge CBV, Walbro 255, Dynoflash mail in, ported stock exhaust mani, 280 cams on the way (hopefully in the mail soon!). now i know after i install the cams im going to get it tuned but i was wondering what should be next? should i go with bigger injectors? with my mods do you think they will help out much? i was thinking about doing the cams, licp, maybe a 10.5 hotside and possibly injectors and then finally take it to be tuned. any input from anyone would be helpful!

Even with cams/LICP/10.5 ( or spend another couple hundred and get a used 9 turbo) you'll be fine with stock injectors. Now if you wanna really turn it up and go with meth, or E85 if its in your area, then yes, injectors.

What kind of cams? Do they require new valve springs/retainers? If so, and you choose to get dual-springs, then while the heads off get ARP headstuds too. Then you can really start pushing the boost.

You could also have your intake mani and throttle body sent off for porting.

hks 280s as of right now i wasnt going to do springs or retainers because i have read about numerous people not doing this as long as you can keep the revs below 8000... plan on doing them eventually just not right now
