CROWER 403s for good all round power. depending on other mods.
CROWER 404s for good top end power (6K+). rasing compresion, exhaust and intake upgrades is a must for these cams.
cam gears and valve springs and retainers must be installed to take full advantage of peak power(7000rpm+)

F.P.R. will do nothing but make you run rich or lean if the computer doesn't compensate. Changing the F.P.R. helps when you run a new pump, injectors and a power adder where you need more/less fuel. The stock one is good for starters until you get big on mods like a big turbo kit. Even then it can still be enough.
How I started:
1: Itake system: Manifold, T.B., and Intake. Avg cost:$800-1000USD
2: Exhaust: Manifold, Muffler, and bigger piping. $400-$600USD
3: "Bolt-on" internals: Cam gears and Cams $500USD
4: Fuel: Fuel rail, F.P.R,. Filter, Pump, and some of the lines. $400USD
5: Internals: Pistons, Rods, Crank, Sleeves, and Valvetrain $3000-$4000USD
6: Power adder: Turbo/Super charger (Little Kit, just what you need to bolt on the turbo), Injectors, Computer, Whatever else I forgot. $2000-$5000USD
As you can see the F.P.R. came after many mods but didn't go on until I got the turbo. Just my $.02USD!!

Ya with bad tuning! It's easy. With cams and gears it's all in a good tune, do it right like we do and everything will run perfect. Also why keep spending the money for bad tunes?

Well that's a little extreme but you'll know after driving it for a mile. If you read the card, tune it, test drive it, dial it in more you get it sooner or later. Just make sure you go in with a full tank!
