Default Just getting your guys opinions

Well, I'm almost 100% positive I'm going to go with a set of ported and polished PI heads for my new build. I just wanted to make sure this was okay. I already have a set of Crower Stage 2 NON PI cams sitting in my garage. Would it be okay to still use these non pi blower cams in the ported/polished PI heads? Also, as long as the heads are romeo (which my non pi's were), my team breed valve covers should bolt right up right? thanks guys

Non PI Cams will not work in PI heads.

To the best of my knowledge there is a different # of bolts for the valve covers between PI and nonPI.

So if the tech told you this, way are you asking us?????????t

I don't know much about the cams in question but it seems like a poor combination of parts to me.

the bolt pattern for the nonPI heads and PI are exactly the same. I have my nonPI valve covers on my PIm motor now. Engine looks exactly the same as the nonPI did. so awkward.

Im pretty the only differance between PI and NPI heads is the intake ports, intake and intake gaskets.
