The first thing that you should buy, performance wise, is an exhaust. Anything you do to the motor with a stock exhaust is not going to see it's full potential. If you were to get the cam, and keep the stock exhaust, you wouldn't see much of a power difference.

bet better suspention a soon as posable and it doesnt need to be top of the line to make you happy. if they are running stock suspention you could still keep up with them. if they have a strong motor but there bouncing around.

Get a cam, pipe, airfilter, and a jet kit. You will be happy. Then shocks, bars, clutch, and a 416 stroker kit.

hmm this confuses me.... let me get this straight...
if you have a 416 bore and you add a stroker cam, that makes it a 440? what if you have a 440 bore and a stroker cam, what is it then?

sorry if this is a stupid question i just have to clarify it now.

u r a little confused. a stroker cam will allow the stroked motor to breathe better.

a stroker it a motor that has been modified so that the piston moves farther up and down the cylinder.

they r that is u bore it to a 416 and then put in a stroker kit, u will have a 440. see?? of course after u have a 440 stroker u will need the cam to allow the engine to breathe properly.
