Of course, once I go cam with double .675 springs, I'll go as high as I like, but it will all depend on the hp/tq curves.

Sweet! This has come up in other threads, but if I had it to do over again, my order of mods for an L99 would be this:

- Stage I: CAI, headers/cats, wheels/DRs.
- Stage II: TC/gears (3.45's or 3.70's are a must for a high stall), tune (for mods and to kill AFM), axle-back (add some sound, lose weight, keep the stock L99 resonator).

Then enjoy that for a while, followed by:
- Stage III: EWP and UDP (before or with cam).
- Stage IV: cam/springs (with or before heads),
- Stage V: ported heads, FAST/NW 102.

Then for good measure:
- Stage VI: a 102mm plate nitrous (mounts on the TB).

BTW, we are trying the IAT sensor relocate today, along with the EWP.
