The kit works very well with stock heads, I made the numbers below with it plus all the normal boltons and good programming. The only problem with the kit is the springs, they are just adequite. I have since ported my heads and swapped out those springs for a set of crane 10308-1 springs.

If you are not too concerned with performance, it's a great cam. Excellent street manners and sounds pretty good too! Not saying it does not perform well, but there are way more better options out there. The hotcam also likes the sauce 
but then again, what doesn't

Personally, for the amount of work involved with a cam swap, I would try to find a better cam to start with. After you do something to the car, you love it, then get bored and want more, so I would find something that will also work well with a good set of heads, etc.
