Default High Mileage Engine (Heads & Cam Swap)?

Well I am toying with the idea of Cam and Head swap but my car has about 111,000 miles. What step would I need to do to ensure the high mileage engine could handle the heads & cam swap? I am thinking of getting the TSP MS3 or MS4 and I already have Mti stage two heads.

I agree plus I would change the timing chain and oil pump while your at it.

Prostreet performance said the motors last quite a long time so I figured I could get the most out of the motor and put a cam in it.

Depending on what kind of life it has had it should be okay. I think you should be prepared to have something bad happen just in case. If its your DD you may want to have a back up plan if it only lasts 2 weeks
