    Cams 5kw?... changing the camshaft will give you the most gain out of any modification on your NA ecotec...

    i have a small cam, ported heads, extractors and high flow cat with 2.5" catback, 70mm throttle body, 25mm mace manifold spacer, and mafless tune..
    it makes 215hp at the wheels... it doesnt sound like that much but considering a stock ecotec is usually around 130hp at the wheels its quite a big gain.
