whats your budget? if you do it right, you can work all 3 together well - headwork, cam & chip, all suited to match the other. better than doing it all at different stages! :wink:

yep i agree with uglybob here if you go all together it would be worth it get a big cam and some head work then get the chip tuned to suit

Still, the later you get the chip, the less you have to spend on retuning for every different mod. Take that into accound mate, especially seeing that UNIchips i think are dyno tuned which costs losts of moolah!!

Get the new JMM Turbo Kit. 240rwkw on stock injectors for ~$11,500. Add a FMCI and bigger injectors, bigger turbo and you're gonna be going crazy :)

Thats what I wanna do, but convincing myself to drop ~14k into the Ford is a biggie. :oops:

That sounds aweful expensive - spose it is JMM.

Snort will do a turbo kit for $3,500 and you still have to add plus FMIC + chip. So you're talking some power (or more) for $5K or $6K

Well I guess if you can't install it yourself labour prices will raise it a bit. But still won't be $10K
