    get the cam and intercooler and never look back. rocker arms wont help much unless your looking for all the little amounts of hp.
    99 Grand Prix old build- CAI, Custom exhaust, HV3, Stage 2 TB, custom tune, ported heads intense s1x cam, headers.
    Nothing great Just a small T66 Turbo with a Hv3 On a stock tranny untill i finish the other one.

    the ssm90 kit and the xp will take you to high 12s if you have a good tune on the car and can launch it.

    if youre doing a cam, cant have rockers. a short stack heat soaks pretty fast, so IMO it is a waste of money.

    so get the cam and the ssm90 kit and then save up later for a stage 2 intercooler if you want to later on, but if all youre doing it going for low 13s that is easily done with the cam.

    look into headers as well, cant take all that air in and not be able to let it out.

    i have the M90 kit, i go 13.0 @ 104 with a short stack and ER rockers, on a 3.4 pulley. the short stack is plenty fine for the blower, because of it i went from 11* of timing to 19*, so it does work. as for the cam i would say no, there are no reliable timing sets, and do you really feel like opening up the front cover all the time just to make sure everything is ok? everything is in the tune, there are plenty of guys with cams still in the mid 13's, why?? because they cannot tune

    I would go Cam, and SS Ic kit. XP cam is good for bottom 12's!

    I dont see why you wouldnt be able to hit the times you want.

    why does everything think you need an intercooler to get into the 12s? there are plenty of people with old school car knowledge that have taken these cars with stock heads non intercooled into the 11s and 12s. i dont see why it cant be done with a cam, headers, the rest of the supporting mods, and a good launch.
