There are the JUN ones as well. I haven't heard of the Jim Wolf ones. Is there any data or reviews/dynos on them anywhere?

JWT claims 30 trq at 3k RPMS! That's pretty impressive, looking for some dynos now.

Next year I'm looking to do heads cam and mani, and maybe a nismo oil pump to bump the revs to 8k. And go as far as 8-10 to find a great ecu tek master tuner

All this new stuff is getting my hopes up for some real NA gains. If the stage 2 cams and new manifold design/TB combo or whatever can give me ~35whp/trq on top of my current mods, I'd be very interested unless the price is just ridiculous.

All will depend on your tuner. I expect the price to be high. These newer car parts are crazy

Looks like the price is $750, which I consider very reasonable.
