For how much money an intake/header/exhaust costs it isn't really worth the 15hp gain without any internal work. In my opinion those are just for squeezing the last bit of hp out of the engine once you can't reach anymore.

yes. internals are the shit that makes the magic happen.

cams, valves, springs, retainers, rockers, etc..
block internals include crank, pistons, rods, etc..

I'd like to know why the original poster thought it was a good idea to shotgun blast the same question to no less than three forums. That's a :nono:
