Default Cam/heads

I know that everyone has there own opinion on these two items and would like to get some vendor specific pro's and con's what has worked for some and what hasn't worked for others. As much detail as you possibly can.

Yup prc's with stock sized valves fit with the ms4...its going to be a top end monster though and will idle pretty rough. How much power are you looking for?

TSP has great stuff so any heads/cam package they sell will produce stout numbers. What H/C package are you looking at? The prc heads right?

There are conflicting opinions on fuel injectors but usually with a heads/cam setup its good to go with some svo 30# injectors and a 255 lph fuel pump (inline or in tank). With the cam/heads package you should be getting dual valve springs, hardened pushrods, and titanium retainers. You will also need new head gaskets (if the heads dont come with them) and usually most people upgrade the head bolts. Id also suggest a new timing chain and ported oil pump too.
