Default stage 3 cams

In order to install stage 3 cams for my 4.6 2v, what would i have to do to make the motor handle it or use the cams full potential?

When you say heads... you mean buy new heads?

Or buy aftermarket performance heads. Either way it's going to be roughly the same amount......extra expensive!!

along with the forged internals, heads, intake manifold
give the guys a call at vt engines a call and they could help you out

know you said just engine stuff but thought I would add the other stuff
Also recommended would be exhaust, and gears . If you are auto, you will need a stall.

You would have to have a dyno tune

take all that dough and put it on a supercharger and then buy a motorcycle with the money you will have left over.
