Simple question, simple answer. Stock motor minus cold air. Will edlebrock performer rpm heads and an E cam work? I know MAF *should* be upgraded along with injectors, manifold, etc. But, will the heads and cam work on a stock engine?

with an E cam, the only reason you would need to ugrade your springs, is because of valve float. But valve float wouldnt start until like 6200 rpms. And i dont think you will be running your rpms that high very often.
