larger intake runners, larger intake and exhaust valves, and a smoother flowing port design in the bowl area = better flowing heads producing more power. a new cam is not needed, and all other stock hardware will bolt up.

i WILL say, that while you got everything tore down that far, you might as well slap a stiffer set of springs on there and take a small jump forward in the cam dept.
