which mod to get next?
should i order the stealth ram first or the new cam? i have enough cash right now to purchase either one but im not sure!! i was thinking intake cuz the cam would be useless without the extra breathing of the intake. plus ill get some money for selling the TPI.

I say go with intake.I would just wait a little longer since you'll have the intake off anyway and do the cam too.Oerwise you'll have to take the intake off again.

Also by changing out the cam for a more agressive one you will most likely have to do some chip work to get the full benefit of the cam, whereas the maf should be able to compensate for the increased airflow by the manifold.

Good advice.
I concur with Stealth.
Too bad it's not smog legal, not in the cards for me.
How much are you getting the base/manifold/fuel rail for?
Good reading that will get you more excited on the possibilities of the HSR:

I also say go with the intake first. I think Steve has a good point about waiting until you have the money for both, and then install them at the same time.

I'll hold it for you till you get the cam
I think if you can hold out long enough then the payoff will be much better.You should save a little,do the cam and intake at the same time then go to get it dyno tuned when we have our dyno day.

Well look on the bright side, he's probably covering up some ugly F**d or other 4x4 body.
Imagine mud-bogging with a Camaro, I bet you'd be the only one out there
