Non-SRT-4 Modded HP
Firstly i'm going to get the cold air intake, i'll likely go with the Iceman. After that Borla or Pacesetter headers (dunno which... Borla are significantly more but I "assume" they're alot better quality) then Thermal Catback exhaust, Underdrive Pulley, and #10 Crane Cam. I will likely get all of this done that the same time... going to wait till spring to do so... but i'll likely purchase the products over the next few months. Next summer i'll be working on looks... Body kit, new paint job, coilover springs, clear tail lights, window tinting. Then next fall I will have the $$$ to purchase a turbo kit... At this point i'm looking at going with the Chill Factory Intercooled kit... Once I do that, from what i've read the #12 crane cam will be better for me at that point. And from their, who knows what i'll do.
I don't really think you should get the Crane #10.
The reason. It's basically a stock cam. If you are planning on going turbo then go with the Crane #12. I mean since you have plans on a turbo you might as well just buy the Crane 12 and be done with it.

This comes right off of modern performance website. It explains the cams a little better:
I personally don't agree with it. From what I have heard, A #10 is just about stock, a #12 is good for N/A performace mods, and a #14 is good for turbo, and real high performace engines.

from what I could tell I figured i'd get a better performance from the #10 prior to turbo install. If the #12 will be fine/better than the #10 (even without Turbo) i'll just go with the #12. #14 would come after more engine work etc.....
I was gonna get the #14 and run it N/A untill I get the turbo, I figure I will lose a little low end, it will still sound good, and should be fine. But I am about 90% sure I am going to turbo the car this spring or early summer.
