go with the PI heads, bullet intake and a pair of cams from http://www.modmaxracing.com and you'll see some serious gains!

i believe the 2000 already has pi heads...and if you are thinking of cams...most everyone would probably agree that you might as well do p&p heads, cams, and springs together due to the complexety of installation....do it right the first time and save yourself some headaches!

PI or performance increased is acronym used for STOCK 99+ heads.
With aftermarket cams, I believe if you gonna get some it should be Comp Cams billets, you can kiss your emission goodbuy (that's for sure) and you are looking for 10-15 rwhp plus and 10-15 lb-fts minus on NA car. That's the fact that have been proven many times. And yes you will need aftermarket valve springs due to higher lift of new cams.

I just got the new 5.0 magazine and in an advertisement for 4.6 comp cams they gained 26 rwhp with their cams. I dont know if its worth the money though.. [Wink]

thankx for your input everyone. well first of all the reason i say cams is because that is the only other mod that i can think of. i am trying to get everything under a charger, soo.. thats the oly other thing i dont have.

my car has:

3.5 exauct tips
catted vrs xpipe
mac cold air from fenderwall to TB
87mm c&l mass air
70mm bbk TB
flowmasters
some kind of hyperchip that i got when the car was stock, so im sure it needs to be reburnt.
as of tomorrow 4.10 gears.

i think that is it. people always tell me to get u/d pullies, but i have a 1000watt amp, a 15 inch sub, and all customer speakers in the car with a diffferent deck. and i do not wanna mess up my electricity. maybe cams is not the way to go, but i want more speed and power, but maybe not. hopefully the 4.10's will be enough. ive never taken my car to the track so i dont knwo my times. thankx all.

The best bolt on mods you can get for our cars are Long Tube Headers and gears.

Regrinds??? Too many problems with them afaik.
Big Boy??? Never heard of this brand.
100rwhp from ported heads and cams with emission friendly spec? Hmm, I have ported by Fox Lake PI heads, not even close to those numbers. [Confused]
Am I and the rest of the modular world missing something?
