Is what worth it? HP tuners or the cams? HP tuners is worth it. If you are wanting to know power gains vs cost of the cams, that will have to wait. I am having them installed very soon. I don't know what "worth it" is to you. I am going NA and cams for a lumpy old school sound and feel. I like big CAMS and I can not lie!!!.............You otha brutha's can deny

I am hoping to get a base tune with cams and tweak it from there for mods.

Yea, I am going to call around to see what the rates are. I know I can get 3 pulls for $75 about an hour from here, but there is a guy closer that I am going to get in touch with first. I would say she is in the 260-270rwhp now, but that's just guessing.

Whats really interesting to me is MACE claims power and torque gains across the range which would be very surprising to me....but awesome if its true! Heck I think it would be awesome if just simply retains the low end but picks up nice gains in the midrange and upper end.

I cant wait to see them installed and the dynos
