well than why not do that? thats a good deal. trick flow tw heads are great heads stock and have plenty of room for porting. ported tw heads will beat out afr heads.

problem is i cant come up with 700 and spend at one time. i would be able to buy some gt40's have the porting work done by a friend and then spend 100$ for springs and valves. im just wanting a good street car. aluminum is more for drag i say.

Dude, if you're not willing to spend $600 on heads, you're in the wrong business. If you want to buy cheap ebay aluminum garbage, go ahead. But you're going to regret it soon as the box hits your doorstep. There's no way around just saving money for a while. Hell, I bought almost nothing that wasn't necessary for over two years before starting my projects.
