they make a small amount of difference (over stock), but not as much as the advertising numbers claim.
i am anxious to re-dyno now because i think that with the combo of better intake & better exhaust along with the cams, the car is making more power (or maybe it's the placebo effect?)...it certainly feels more peppy now

Shaving off a whole second with just i/h/e is pretty amazing...........

i'm hoping to shave off a second...it will be the combination of the mods + driving practice [for me]

Shaving a whole second off with a FS-DE will not be that difficult with just a couple of bolt-ons...The car has adequate torque, but the problem is the lack of higher rpm breathing (which is where most of the revs are in 1/4 run)...The cams will help the engine's rev-band, despite being a tiny gain....The header gets rid of the the pathetic down-pipe, which will definately help across the entire rev range, and an intake and exhuast will also help a little...Getting a FS-DE from 15.8 to 15.lower is a different story without FI..
