Default Am I gonna need Heads?

I am picking up a trickflow track heat upper and lower with heater spacer and a e303 cam for 400 this week and my question is am I going to run into a problem keeping the stock heads? Or will my heads hold up?

The heads will hold up. However you wont make the power you would with a pair of TF's or AFRs.

exactly. when you put that intake and cam in, your going to be dissapointed because they wont add much hp with the stock heads. your going to tear half the motor apart to do the intake and cam, you might as well pull the heads off at the same time

These guys are smart and couldn't agree with them more. Buy some heads and do it all at once.
