JM enginering makes the best cames. They go for about $650 I believe. He claims 12-20 bhp depending on the cam used.

Throttle cam or actual cam?

Throttle cam doesn't actually add any power at all. Throttle cam just makes the throttle response linear instead of progressive. The stock throttle cam makes the throttle less sensitive just off idle.

Actual cams require you to pull the top of the engine and will change your powerband depending on the specific grind.

Dang cool down and take a deep breath .
ok
Probibly the best people to ask would be the people you may be buying the cam from. They would probibly have the best recomendations for installing the cam.

A MAF conversion would be the single best performance improvement on an NA, and will work well with a performance cam. A good header and freeflowing exhaust will also be a big help with a new cam. Fast924S knows his stuff, and has given you a link to a very reputable manufacturer. For a good description of how they work, and what they do, check http://auto.howstuffworks.com/camshaft.htm

Mass Air Flow. It does away with the AFM (Air Flow Meter) that is a big restriction in the intake. FRWilks is supposed to be releasing a reasonably priced version. Either Wilks or Fast924S can give you a good description of how they work, at least I understood their descriptions in the past.

Interesting... Will that play nicely with a Wilks chip?

Not sure on that one. But if FRWilk is making a MAF system of his own I don't see why not. You could e-mail him. Plus if you get the one from Promax it would cost $1098.19 (exchange rate) plus shipping.

OKay this is a little complicated SO im gonna make it easy. MAF= mass air flow sensor. Basicly There is a LITTLE bare wire exposed to the air intake stream. Current is passed threw the wire and the wire is heated to a set temp. As more air flows over the wire the wire cools down and the DME has to put more current threw the wire to keep it at the set temp. So as more air passes over the wire more current is needed to keep the wire hot. The DME watches the current change and knows how much Fuel it needs to add. MORE CURRENT=MORE FUEL, LESS CURRENT=Less FUEL. If you want a more detailed discription you can to a search on the Forum or on the WEB

Most MAF conversions need a custom chip or signal/piggy back unit to make proper fuel corrections. The "simple" DME wont understand the MAF signal. FR-Wilks MAF kit is plug and play due to the fact that it has a build in signal converter so no addtional chip or piggy back unit is needed. My MAF setup is a little different it uses a piggy back unit to message the incoming MAF signal so I can alter the A/F ratio. The best Performance way to do it is make a MAF kit and have custom chips burned for the MAF. I believe guru Racing does that with there MAP conversions and may be able to help you with a MAF conversion.

Yes that MAF kit in the link will Work with the fr-wilk chip. But the FR-wilk MAF kit is cheaper in price and I would trust FR-wilks stuff over any other stuff.

Wilk's kit is not ready yet..

that kit that is linked up there ^^^ already has the "piggy back" device included...

"This provides an accurate air mass voltage signal to the SciVision processing computer which then relays a corrected AFM (Air Flow Meter) voltage signal to your car's ECU."

The stock headers and exhaust are very good, they're a very free-flowing design from the factory and it's difficult to improve upon them. I don't mean that they can't be improved upon, but there will be trade-offs.
