Default cam question

from what i have read... putting a e303 cam into a motor with stock heads will work but it will not perform at its full potential until you upgrade the heads.....so my question is....is there any way i could lose power by putting an e-cam in with stock heads??

dont upgrade the cam until you have heads and an intake....it would make more sense power wise.

Yes, if it was me and was only going to do one thing, id save a little more and do the heads first. Only because out of the three, its the biggest gain, also you dont have to worry about upgrading valve springs when you do a cam.
