I forgot to say it has a m6 and 58k miles on it. So it would be better to save up and go with a cam? I was reading that a head and cam swap adds like 150 hp. Will a head and cam swap really have that much gain?? I've been a small block chevy man since i was big enough to pick up a wrench and i never saw that much of a gain from just that.

Also wouldn't he need new valve springs with a cam swap?
