    Its not really required.. You could shift kit the trans and bolt a intercooler on, drop a pulley and not get any faster with tuning.

    Always just negativity, offer some insight as the OP was looking for some.

    On that note:

    It all really depends on what you want or are looking for. The two options you ask about do different things. The CAM will change your overall engine performance with increased performance on the top end of the rpm's. The IC will allow you to eliminate knock thereby increasing HP (pulley drops)... Apples and Oranges to me. Ultimately make your decision and don't look back, both are good upgrades!

    Overkill BBC Cam, YT 1.8 RR's, Rhodes Lifters, STGII Heads, GenV, Pacesetters, 3" Exh to Tips, TEP Trans. N*, ID 75# injectors/E85 coming soon

    Im really feelin the Cam and im hearing a lot of good reviews about the XP cam as far as a tune which one is prefered for a cam setup dyno or a tune from one of the vendors? Could i do without a dyno tune? Intercooler i thought brought gains?
