heads/cam/intake question

imma get the heads bored out, and the stock intake what cam can i put in it to make it a little bit more meaner sounding temporarily till i get the trickflow kit, i just want like a small cam upgrade from the HO cam that i have. and it needs to work with the stock heads & intake.

The stock cam is pretty efficient, I would leave her in there, if you CANT do that, then get a comp cam for it, have them recommend one.

um, YOU DO NOT BORE HEADS!!! You're stock intake is a huge bottleneck, you will not feel much improvement until you swap it due to the lack of airflow in the #1 and #5 ports. What year is your car?

I still run my E303 even with my trick flow heads and Edelbrock intake. Mean as hell sounding... definitely not a sleeper car as everybody and their sister can hear the cam.

RE: heads/cam/intake question

Why don't you just buy the TFS Stage 1 cam now? That would make better sense than buying an E/B cam for practically the same price and then upgrading later. Then instead of buying the TFS kit later, you just buy the heads, intake and gasket kit.
