Cold air inductions with a scoop will give you the most HP gains

Good luck with that 50hp computer upgrade. That's a big number to hit with a tune.

If money is no object, I'm not the guy to get advice from. If you want to send your kids to college, try the TSP headers for under $500. I run OBX, but TSP weren't that cheap back then.

As for intakes, CAI, Vararam and New Era get the best reviews if you don't mind spending that kind of money on an intake. I bought a used K&N out of the classifieds on here.

Dean, check out the two threads below. I put them together to consolidate as much good information on these topics in one place as possible. It should help you make a well informed decision. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

Choosing The Right Long Tube Headers

THE Air Intake Thread

We just had an L99 in the shop. We added a CAI intake and Kooks Headers with Hi Flow Cats. He already had a Magnaflow Catback.

Dyno Tuned and got right around 40 extra HP.

There are going to be a lot of different choices for LT Headers and Intakes.

If you have any questions, give me a call.
