Interesting. I never really thought about the throttle body and manifold affecting the bottle end power until now. Thanks for saving me the mistake.

So I say a good set of cams would be a good idea. If I was to go with some new cams I think I would probably go ahead and install the valve springs and titanium retainers while I'm in there.
So say I went with the stage 2's. Those require the use of their valve springs, correct? (I'm still doing my extensive research on things so bare with me)

What about the streetability of using the stage 2's and what rpm range are they most effective in?

Also, when upgrading cams fuel requirements begin to increase. So If I went with stage 2's would the stock fuel system not be enough or would adding an adjustable fuel pressure regulator be necessary?
