Default Trickflow cam

I was wondering what kind of improvement in performance you would see with a Trickflow track heat camshaft with stock heads. I'd like to get the full kit but I'm not able to afford that for a long time.

a cam alone won't add much, it will change where you make power... i would wait and safe up for the whole thing or get the cam and some heads off an old explorer

you would need to upgrade the springs also, or you will have valve float at higher rpm(I know because I did it)

i wasn't trying to go into detail but yea you'll get valve float and it you don't correct the problem soon i've seen springs break... and that causes all kinds of bad things
