Any reason in particular?

 

depends on what cams you are thinking about also

 

Because his question was, cams or alky.....where has reading comprehension gone....

The reason why I think the cams are a better move is A. The lesser chance of them causing a catastrophic failure B. The amount of boost you would want to run to get the most out of the gains really isn't safe in my mind without head studs, but you will probably want to do that down the road anyway and C. The cams are something that you will always be benefiting from, and never have to continually waste cash on (in the form of alk)

99% of the people go with cams before alky. Id like to hear from Warrtalon on this one since he was tuned with an alky kit before adding the cams.

 

he also ran a 12.01 at 113.7 without cams and running an alky-like octane mix of race gas and pump.

 

Warrtalon > all.

 

I meant both, but don't worry about it now. You should have said this in your original post..

Now i would say it really doesn't matter which one you get first. Do you have a tune already? Maybe BOV because sotcker leaks boost. Maybe 10.5 hotside (im not sure what year your car is)

 

No tune yet, I would be getting it tuned once I put the alky in, or the cams

 

Get alky and cams THEN tune. That is what i am doing.

 

Cams first-then alky
Then be ready to spend 5-10k on a motor if something fails

 

Buy the Gsc, or Comp 272s and get them installed by Scott, then a couple weeks later get Scott to install the alky kit.

 

Are you going to help me pay for it will?

 

In order of most power yeild to least:

1) Alcohol, Cams (stock valvetrain type), Tune
2) Alcohol, tune
3) Cams, Tune
4) Cams Untuned
5) Alcohol Untuned

 

Sure

 

+whatever for both

...i'd rock the cams first..take advantage of better flowing intake and exhaust gases..once used to that... slap in meth and now take advantage of lower intake temps...for increased timing ...and boost...cams and meth = "oh happy day"
