Default New Cam?

I am looking to maybe move up to a new cam. Now I have an MTI C2 224/224 .581/.581 with a manley valvetrain and all bolt-ons, vig 2800, 3:73's, no heads, or power adder in an everyday driver. Should I wait on the money for a set of heads, or move up to a new cam, then heads?

Getting heads is never a bad idea. It all depends on how much money you want to spend.

If you ever plan on going heads, I would decide what H/C package you want.

Get the stage II heads and you may not want a larger cam!

This is very true. But I have a better idea. Save up the money, and come give it to me. I know exactly what to do with it.


Just make sure the heads and your cam are meant to work well together. Some heads are better used for certain purposes then others....
