Formula383 - Yep gonna sell the X3, got a couple locals interested, if they fall through are you interested? Has maybe 8k miles on it if that.
nspr8td lt1 - Let me know how it goes, I have a friend that has the X4 and his car runs strong!
Pdd - Thanks dude, I hope to gain some power all over the place, and hopefully run a little quicker

Let's see, people go from 400 to 450 horsepower with the addition of heads that cost less than $2000. That is $40 per horsepower (of course, give or take a few). And you can get cheaper heads if you want. Good stainless headers, for comparisons sake, would be $35 per horse if they gained you 20 rwhp. So I don't think it's fair to say that heads aren't worth the money. They allow you to have fulltime power (N/A) while retaining drivability by not running a huge *** cam. But if you would rather lose drivability by running a bigger cam to gain a little power, be my guest.

Who says big cams lose drivability? My X3 drives like stock, just fine, a good tuner can make a big cam drive great. I would do heads on a new motor, say a 408, but a stock bottom end no thanks. A nice big cam will make me happy, and nitrous will suffice in a bind.
