Default Best Bang for the Buck except for S/C

Hey guys i kno alot about the whole bolt on aftermarket world, but i want to know what the cams and heads and what it means by port and polishing? Would Cams be the best bang for the buck for RWHP? or would gettin new heads? If I did the Comp Cams Stage 1 Cams, and Heads which would be really good for Stage one cams? I can probably only do Stage 1 since its a daily driver of 35 miles every day! Any Information is apperciated! Thanks Guys!!!!

Porting is when you make the intake/exhaust holes in your heads bigger, to allow for more air flow.
Polishing, is when you smooth them out, so there is less friction when the air goes through the heads.

Technically your stock block would hold a 150 shot safley but I would prob. stick to a 100 or 125 IMO

Gears are for sure another one of the cheaper ways to make your car go noticeably faster.

I would not get cams until you know exactly what road you want to go down. You need different cams for different types of builds.
