Most definately true.... I just received an E-mail from a DMLer I believe
(could be from another list) that added one of my TBs on his stock truck. He
liked it. Then, shortly afterwards, added a set of headers. Now he says the
combo of the two is simply awesome, and that they complimented each other
nicely.

I haven't tried the intake manifold mods (but you just gave me a great idea
for a new product...:)) to go along with this, but in theory it sounds like
you've got the ticket on your 5.9..... I think I'd save the head work until
last though, and that someone with just a TB and some intake mods would
probably get by with just using a good set of headers/upgraded y-pipe :-)
Then I'd go with the cam, and match the heads to that combo..... larger
injectors, custom computer... drool.

I'm still not convinced that removing the air horns is that benefitial. I'll
bet if you opened them up to a wider angle, and then hogged out the lip,
you'd probably see the same gains you saw by removing them. Stonehenge? LOL :)
