yeah that's what i'm thinking.. midrange isn't as good as i thought/hoped it'd be..

stock cams, stock injectors, stock cyclone intake (butterflies not enabled.. yet) 3 inch exhaust - but i think the guys f%$ked up the dump pipe.. might get that redone. It looks like a 2.5" to me.. and the second exhaust shop I took it to showed how the first shop just took my money but did jack shit - their welds were all over the place, and there was actually metal blocking the inside of the exhaust where the dump joins the rest of the exhaust.

as far as getting cams are concerned, i woulda thought getting more hardcore cams would be better for top end but not midrange..?

A good exh./DP would probabley improve the spoolup...
And the standard cams will be 265deg.(?) at the most?
I'd have go at a BIG downpipe and 272 cams.
I'm not sure about the cyclone intake, it might not be the ultimate thing...

Advancing the cams will help mid range.

Need to get it out to the drags to stretch it's legs...
