You didn't knock me off any horses, sorry. There is no reason to upgrade the brakes at this power level, especially not BEFORE cams. You underestimate the amazing quality of our brakes. When you've managed to overrun your stock brakes after a full 2 days of road racing with around 330whp, let me know, because I haven't done it yet. This guy is just driving around town, so it's even less necessary.

Cams I think is a nice option, but also what about IC pipes? If you have an 03-05 VIII than I would think at least a LICP would be a good option to free up some power. BUt that is just my opinion.

since the guy didn't indicate how much power he wanted to gain or what he intends to accomplish with his car, i gave him the most extreme option...
