What all mods do you have currently done for the car? then we could go from there.

It should work awesome, I would suggest headers/exhaust and FWI with those mods.

so far just a short ram intake with a custom made cold air box and ram air, hv3 intake insert, and a high flow cat

[SleeperLS]

headers and that kit should make you smile on the road

At very least, the fenderwell intake. That pretty much already is the best bang for the buck around. Intense's packages are great stuff. That package leaves little to be desired.

thanks for the feed back guys, just a few more questions. If i took the time to install the kit my self is it difficult to do? I am only 17 years old and only know so much , If i took it to a shop to be installed how much do u think they would charge? sorry for so many questions im still a newbie

if i can add from a fellow 2000+ Bonneville owner myself

you want to shoot for the INTENSE FWI....by far the best....sorry to say, get rid of the current Intake

i would also suggest headers with the Cam Package.

Our Exhaust on the Bonneville is unlike the GP's and is capable of taking us into the 13's before it needs attention, Minus the Stock Manifolds, you already have a high flow cat so your cool there

as for the install, its not bad, that you do have some room to work in our engine bay, compared to a GP

you will need to remove the alt, alt bracket (cause it covers the rear valve cover) to get the Springs, retainers, and locks installed
the top end has to come off to do the lifters ( Personally i wouldnt do them if your car is lowish miles)
and the WP and front cover for the Timing set, and obviously the Cam

what you want to do is give the guys at INTENSE a call after the holidays, that speak to them, They ROCK and will tell you what you need and dont need.....

if your not mechanically sound in an engine bay...leave the cam and internal engine parts to the pros. I am not sure on prices...but I am guessing around 700 give or take.
