I am looking to add some more horses to my 5.0 as I was beat off the line by a Jeep Grand Cherokee yesterday,
First I already have a Mac cold air intake and a mac catback exhaust.

I am looking to add headers and a cam fallowed by a dyno tune.

My question is where can I find headers, its seems like the torque monster ones are the way to go, but the million dollar question is where can I get them from? Or is there another option to go with?

Also wondering what size cam to go with?

Lastly just any other performance options I can go with that are suggested that you would suggest.

I know that to do the cam the intake has to come off so maybe an intake spacer also?

And if you are running anything different please post your set up.
 






I see the post about the headers for the group buy but that is from awhile ago.
Also I don't really see any posts of performance upgrades with write ups and part numbers etc.
 






to get any performance out of our trucks, you will have to spend, and spend big! if you only have a stock motor, i wouldnt bother with a cam. exhaust is your first best bet. alum heads, throttle body, then a cam. the next thing would be forced induction. then you will be adding even more things to support that
