Careful John they will make you get a cage if you go too far...
I don't have to worry until it runs a 10.49, and it wont! Not in a 4770 pound car! (although, the bloke building the heads does want to "gas" it!) and i've modified a tunnel ram for the six pack.....

They have passed a new compliance thingy and we are not allowed nitrous (anything at all to do with it) fitted to the car here in our lovely nanny state any more... sadness in my pants

Installed full TTI long tubes and 3" pipes today. As expected, there is a noticeable difference, it will now smoke both tires at any speed under 20mph jumping on the throttle. A few more things to check, a trip to the track, then its back to the dyno.

Some say headers and a good exhaust really dont make a big difference and not worth the money. I take it you dont feel that way.your new dyno numbers will be proof

Most people simply hate headers because about 90% of them are designed like crap, rust easily, don't fit out of the box withouth hammering thme, don't have enough ground clearance, clutter the starter, have lousy exhaust-gaskets, and have headerbolts that loosen up every 100 miles.

Exactly! Even though these TTI's are very nice, they were still a pain in the butt to put on, trap even the mini starter, got scratched up, increased my blood pressure, caused me to loose weight and vital bodily fluids, and considerably lightened my wallet. And i am sure to look forward to gasket leaks and burned plug wires.

Cam is too small for the combo to make big power especially now that you've got the exhaust figured out. 14 A/F is crazy lean...and I'm guessing there is also some gains to be found with a custom curve in the distributor. Single plane will help it breathe up top and kill off some torque down low. Any fresh air you can get into the motor will also help which should also let you run a minimum of 3" aircleaner...
