They make regrinds for our cars here: www.supersixmotorsports.com and they make heads as well. I talked with a guy about a month ago about the performance gains of the cam regrind and the stage 3 heads. He said about 45 hp. Which isnt bad but will cost you about $3700.00. And to get the cam to work with the stock heads you would need to install lifters. So basically you should just get the stage 3 heads that come with the lifters and spacers needed for the regrinds.

This option (on top of FI) is only for hard core people shooting for a 10 second car or less.

Once I get the turbo im pretty much done. You plan on going with the supersix heads/cam or waiting for possible others.

I have calls into Powerhouse about what components should and shouldnt be replaced in the motor. I'm also going to call MRT and Alt. Auto to get thier opinions, then decide on where to get it. Right now it looks like SSM and RPM-Mustangs.com. But, I probably wont start on this project until after track season is over. I am going to focus this track season with my new blower this season.
