Default would it be worth swaping my as cast tfs heads for PI 215

So i seen this post
https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-s...-packages.html
and it got me thinking about selling my head/cam set up and going with some PI heads im just wondering if it would be worth all the hassle. It comes with a custom cam and i have been thinking about geting a new cam cause im not entirely happy with the low end power of my cam. So what would you guys do think i would try to get around $1800 for my heads/rockers and see what i could get for the cam and i could pull the rest of the money together. So tell me your thoughts.

You seem pretty down on torque in your sig for heads and cam. Power, sort of down. Even for an A4. What are the rest of the specs on the 228/236 cam?

Well i know the dyno i went to reads pretty low my buddy has a 383 lt1 that only read 380rwhp but he runs low 11s. So im going more by what i feel when i drive the car and do me it seems like i have to rev it to 3000 before it really starts pulling. I dont remember the exact lift but it was in the low .600 not more then .610 and the lobe seperation was 112.

I would just be worried if it was worth the money! I know you wouldnt have a problem selling those heads and rockers for about 1,800$ though.
