Went to the track a few weeks ago, ran a 16.6 bone stock, with my atx>mtx conversion and the 6.5k redline. so i came home pissed, and bought some crane #12s. i was just reading a thread in the advanced tuning section and i must have misunderstood the shit out of it. it was saying that with the 12's over stock i'd be seeing like 30-40 hp????? i know that can't be right, can anyone speculate on what kind of gain i'll be seeing realistically? keep in mind my car is BONE stock pretty much. just have shit-can riceboy muffler lol. any input would be nice.

You need more supporting mods ie intake/header/TB/adj. cam gears

If you're going to get cams, satisify yourself the first time and get the Crane 0016's or the Crower stage 2's. They are both a very good camshaft for the "street" and can be used with a turbo application.

well i hope you're right, i just emailed howell and asked to switch to #16's. either way before they're installed im sure i'll be doing the timing belt, a udp, adjustable cam gears, valve springs, maybe some stainless valves, etc. etc. i dont really wanna rip the whole motor apart every time i get a little money. might as well do it right the first time.

I'll agree with that, go for the #16s at least. Mine only lasted 250 miles but the car felt good when they were in :)
