Then go and get a tune. So i'm looking at $910. Intercooler can be added at a later date if I want to go further. Put in a few of the other things that come up and I should be able to stay close to my $1000 goal (preferably) Seem like a good plan?

The VS cam makes a lot more power than rockers thrugh the entire powerband. You won't feel the gains from rockers until the 4000 rpm range. That's why 105 springs are recommended for rockers, So you can run higher rpm's to reach where the power is.

The VS cam can be ran on stock springs with stock shift points & still make a load of torque. And all hell breaks lose when you stiffen up the springs and run higher RPM's.
But I definately understand the value for the price difference. But don't feed into the BS about rockers making the same power as cams (even a small one) it isn't true.
