And when you are looking at the numbers, pay attention to the fine print! 20 or 30 or 40 HP in big bold letters - but many people miss the 'at 5,000+ rpm' tucked way over on the side, and then they realize that they just spent a grand for 6 or 8 or 10 'usable' HP. The HP that is down in the rpm range most of us run in, not up at redline.

You could also check a few threads on the Sprintex superchargers (in the $2500 range) and Ripp long tube headers (in the $1600 range).

And when it is time to start looking at hemi swaps, be sure to check out the LS swaps as well.

Yea,I have to many buddies that are like, "dude can you install this for me, it gives me 30+hp!" And after install and dyno run I smile and say told you it wasn't that much haha. (Not always, but most of the time). Yea over the years of customizing,I tend to linger on forums about products I'm interested in to see some customer feedback and not some web site selling the product feedback. As for big ticket items, not pushing that worry right now, it's new to me so I do have interest in SC or even swap but to be honest, not going to happen for a long time if ever; it's a daily driver custom ride with the occasional rock crawl out mud whole :-)
