Default What should i buy? heads/cams or procharger

I've got an 02 mustang gt with a forged mmr shortblock and ever bolt on except heads and cams. I've got 3500 bucks saved up. Should i buy heads and cams or a procharger? It'll all be done in the long run, but what should i do first? I'm leaning towards heads and cams because im burning a little oil and mmr said it was most likely my valve seals, and i could also buy some stuff for my suspension with the left over.

buuuuuut if i could save 1500 more bucks i could have a pretty decent procharger set up.

I dont know what to do..please help haha

Heads and cams. Get everything running perfect then slap on the blower. It is much easier to install the heads and cams now instead of when you have a blower strapped on.

the cms website is cushmanmotorsports.com, u can buy the fox lake, patriot, or the tf heads. I bought both heads and cams from CMS as a combo for 1895 to my door. I got their Patriot stage 2 heads with their stage 2.5 blower cams. Im almost done with putting it back together, so ill let u know how i like it but there are plenty of people that love his cams

I have patriot stage 3 heads and CMS stage 3 blower cams that I bought off of Jims website for just under $2000. The cams are awsome.
