Default Ported Heads / Blower Cams?

Well. I have some extra money. I dont know what I want to spend it on just yet.. I have the Mods in Sig laying around in the Garage... waiting for the Cash to Throw it all together. Im stuck Between:

GOOD INTAKE- Reichard, Fox lake or Logan
Ported heads -Thinking Fox lake
BLower cams-No Clue Everyone Advertises the Best NUmbers


Is one better than the other, Cash might not call for the heads and cams.... soo what would be the benefit of each separate? or Together... Thanks!! (Have like 1100+ to spend on Porting my Heads or BLower Cams) I have another 1k set aside for Suspension....

Also looking for a place that sells the 8rib pulley kits for Procharger. I have been told i could get bet slip with a 3.2 pulley

Out of your intake choices, I'd take the P51 on a budget, or the Logan if money wasn't an issue. If I remember the graph I've seen correctly the Reichard lost torque in there test. For heads, I'd like to see some real world numbers for the TFS units before I give them a shot. If you have the time to wait, I'm sure someone will have them soon enough. For cams, go to CMS. Everyone I've seen in the magazines running an 8 rib setup on a Procharger got it from House of Boost, but I haven't been able to find a kit on their site, so you might want to give them a call. BTW, if you go with the Logan intake, you might want to put some thought into how you're going to pipe in the blower.

Fox Lake makes some good ported heads, and i would deff go with CMS blower cams. As for Intakes, ive always heard good things about the TrickFlow intake, it wont rob u with power down low.

I'm currently working on a budget N/A H/C/I combo too and im researching the Patriot performance stage 2 heads, CMS Stage 2 cams, and the TFS Track heat intake combo.

I would probably do heads in your situation and add the cams later.... It's easier to swap cams with an engine in the car than heads.

like moose said, get heads ported, cams later, and do some suspension, big dyno #'s dont mean a thing if you cant control it
