got a g4gt w/ cold air,76 mass air,70 tb, u/d pullies, mac high catted h pipe and mac exhaust w/ 373's in the back

i just picked up shorty equals, a prochamber no cats, ported and polished cobra manifold, ported gt40's w/ 1.7 rockers,

my questions are what cam should i get i know alotta ppl like the steeda 19 cam, how much of a gain would i see from a dyno tune, would it be worth it? if so then what more aggressive cam would you guys reccomend if i would be tuning, and do i need to bump up the injector size?

any hp predictions as well would b nice thanx

Who ported the heads/intake? If you don't know and just bought them from some random person online you need to get them checked out. I've been through the port/polish merry go round and I will NEVER buy something ported/polished again unless I have proof of who ported it and flowsheets. I hope you have this kind of documentation.

If the portwork is good then a TFS1 or Crane 2031 would be good.

Very good advice imo.

This doesn't mean that they were done properly or that the intake walls aren't paper thin. I'd at least get the stuff checked by a reputable shop.

+1 for getting them checked out. ive bought sh*t before that ran hard but after purchase didnt take them to get checked out cause the dude said they were ready to go. but i went through a head gasket a week turns out they were wharped from him running way to much nitrous . so i would deff take them to get checked out.

That and when you say the "kid" before you had them and they ran good makes me think high schooler beating the **** out of the car without properly tuning the thing. No offense to anyone still in HS who actually knows wtf they're doing but in almost every instance they don't.
