I hear ya and I've been thinking about that as well... Swapping intake manifolds and cold air kits is the easier solution, but it's also significantly more expensive than going back to stock cams.I see a couple of mentions so I'll chime in, if you don't mind.
I would wait until Wednesday and see what happens on a dynojet so it is more comparable. If the numbers are still low... you may not like it, but my advice would be to sell your IM and throttlebody, someone will scoop it up real quick.
I would go with the CJ manifold with those cams, it is a proven combination. Another thing that will help with that setup is a PMAS CAI. I don't understand why people are so reluctant to trim the hood. It truly is no big deal and if done right it looks stock.
Not all cars react the same to a given combination. I remember back in the day get an intake, B303 cam and some cars would scream on it and others would lack. Don't give up on the cams, the IM is an easier fix.
I hope it works out for you and if you need anything, let me know.
Good luck.
Several people have mentioned getting it to the strip to check the times and trap speed, but I'm not a drag racing guy (I know, I'm in the minority on this forum!). I'm more of a track day and windy road guy, which is why I'm slightly reluctant to cut the hood and ditch the strut tower brace. Realistically though, I really don't know if I would notice the strut tower brace missing.
Regardless, I'm planning on getting the car out today and getting a better impression of how it feels. The weather is much better today, and hopefully the family will let me get away for a while to go for a drive. . I was able to find a Dynojet that was closer that could get me in on Monday, so I'll have results sooner.
