advice on heads w/ cam swap i will be replacing my oil pump soon, so while im in there, im gonna go ahead and install a cam. my car is a 98 z28 a4. i dont want anything crazy, just a nice street car. im looking for something in the 224 range. im gonna go ahead and put some heads on while im at it, cuz i aint doin another cam swap w/ heads on...PITA 
so anyway, would it be worth it to put some 01-02 heads on....i mean do they flow that much better than my 98 heads?? of course if i had the money, i would go ahead and buy some nice stage 2 heads from a sponsor, but im a lil short for cash right now. and i cant wait cuz the oil pump needs to go in asap!! can i get some advice fellas??

I'm very happy with my Patriot H/C setup, I don't think you can beat the price and I'm quite happy with the performance. Take a look:

well, i really dont have the money to invest in a good set of heads right now. thats why i was looking for a set of stock 01-02 heads. but if they wont make any difference, then i guess there is no point. i hate taking my heads off just to put the same ones back on though, ya know??
