Con: Less power than an aftermarket cam and ported heads could produce.



What is the cost?

That's not a bad price for what you get....however what you get could be better.

Personally, for the money I'd rather get a cheaper set of ported heads and a nice aftermarket cam and make more power than that swap.

BTW: Have you read the stickies and made friends with the search button yet?

Cali is a different ballgame. Did you happen across Patrick G and his 396 rwhp through stock manifolds and cats with a stock idle??
