alot of ppl have stage 2's and just swap the springs with it nd they are fine? i dont see the problem with just doing that?

DO NOT put stage 2 cams in unless you have headwork done. End of story.

There isnt much of a lope with stage 1's. BUT LISTEN PEOPLE!
Stage 1's are meant for no headwork and stock internals. . .
Stage 2's are MADE to work with headwork (Ported or aftermarket heads)
If you get stage 2's with stock heads they wont work efficiently and wont work properly.
99% of cam manufacturers will tell you that stage 2 cams are meant for motors with head work. If you want that lope you WILL need stage 2 cams but you'll also need head work along with that.

Yeah that would be awesome on even stock internals. Stage 3 stuff is for built and blown or N20 motors. You'll see a great gain with a stage 2 setup. Itll really wake the car up and sound really wicked matched up with a good pair of long tube headers

So would buying stage 2 cams and stage 2 heads be a good combo? I want to start a nice build, but dont no sh*t about internal mods and stuff.

Yeah it would be a very good idea to dyno tune it. Headers are a good idea becuase the most restrictive part of the 2v newedge stangs are the heads and headers. They're the bottleneck. Not the manifold, intake, throttle body, mid pipe, or catback like everyone seems to think. Address the heads and headers and then you can start making some good power. . . I ordered the complete heads from patriot. They came with new springs. . .

RE: cams might do it
No i havent dyno'd yet becuase i havent finished. The new block is getting put in right now. . hoping for 340 rwhp. . . or thats what they're projecting. . . Im throwing on a 200 shot MAYBE sometime soon . . have to get used to all the new found power first. . . Ok to answer questions the heads came put together. All you have to do is put the cam in etc. . . piece of cake. Yeah you're car will be fine to drive around. It'll run just fine so long as you get the timing but i would get it to the dyno before you did any hard hitting to get the a/f ratio worked out. . . Yeah no problems man thats what these forums are for is to ask questions and try and answer them!

RE: cams might do it
With stock headers its easy to do a head swap. You just un bolt the heads and take the header and head out as one unit. With Long tubes you have to lift the motor or drop the k member. I had long tubes so i just took it to a shop because i dont have the right tools. I guess you can probably get the heads and cams all pre put together but idk becuase i got them from two different places.
