The H.P. won't be what you thought it would be, never is.......
Save some $$$$$$$, do pimping, whatever and get some heads........
That is where the real power is..........

i heard that people arent polishin anymore because with the roughness it causes the fuel and air to mix better. So with getting a cam with just the heads the way they are what do you think I would see?
