RE: Head Swap??

considering stage 2 cams are built to go to 6500rpm.. and your not forging your bottom end... probably going to be close gains.

^^^^Yep, without being able to twist the motor, you will never see the full potential of those heads and cams.

RE: Head Swap??

So should I just get stage 1 heads? Or would it just be worth it to port and polish the stock heads? What would be most beneficial, and what kind of power would i gain?
