Default What should I save up for???

Should i save up for a Colt stage 3 cam with billet push tubes and 110 valve springs or save up for a s475 turbo a my compound setup n the material to make it work. Or if you see something else I should do first before them two let me know.

Cams are kinda a lesser upgrade if your looking for power, you don't get a huge bump in power but better spool and lower egts and some claim better fuel mileage. A compound setup would yield more power and give room for bigger injectors and etc. if your happy with your power now I'd do cam, if you want more power and all that do compounds

if you do compounds you want springs too. I like my cam even now my truck is back stock it's getting better mpgs than it did before I ever modded it

Cam for sure with the 110#'s. Billet push rods are a huge expense and not necessary for a DD/Street truck.

I love my Colt Stage III

Thats what I was thinking a cam is a lot cheaper than a S475 turbo. Also the other day I didn't have my water-meth on and my boost went up to 58psi and normally it's only 52psi with the water-meth on. My question is is that to much boost for my 63-68-14 non-waste gated turbo. I just got is a couple months ago and don't want to over do it.
