Next power adder?
FYI, power adders are nitrous, superchargers or turbos. If your looking for heads and cams, my suggestion would be vt stage 1 cams, and get the stock heads ported and polished.
Personally I want to see someone on this forum port and polish the stock heads or get a set of aftermarket ones (aka worked over stockers) on a stock bottom end and stock camshafts, just to see what would happen.
I have a sneaking suspesion that you will see more from the head work than you do from the camshafts, but I could be way off base.
BTW, if you do your camshafts, save some extra money and get the heads worked. I really wish I would have gotten a P&P job at least (if not with oversized valves etc) when I did my cams. Would be one less thing on the list left to do, and woulda made so much more power n/a.
BTW, follow the standard rule. If you are gonna stick with the stock bottom end, stage 1s, forged assembly going in, stage 2.

what exactly does it mean when they say bolt ons?
what exactly does it mean when they say bolt ons?
such as:
bolting on an exhaust
intake
throttle body / plenum
tuner (which doesn't even require bolts lol)
tires
under drive pulleys
gears
usually boltons are a direct swap of the old part.

Wait, 20004.6, are you saying it would be a bad idea to do what I suggested?

If you are planning to go N/A I would definatly get hte heads P&P, or a new set from a aftermarket company, and get some cams installed. You definatly won't see max gains with just the head porting, I just wonder how far the stock PI camshafts will take you.
Full bassani exhaust
CAI with a tune
Pro 5.0 short throw
90mm MAF
75mm throttle body / pleum
under drive pullies
3:73's

Look into VT's power pack with the P-51 intake/heads and cams. This might be a good way for you to go if you are looking forbig power gains and want to keep your car N/A.
