Default SLP Head/cam package?

I checked out the SLP site......noticed they have a head/cam kit for $2500 says it will make about 500hp. Will this be okay for a motor with about 50k miles on it?

Have any of you guys bought this package?

slp dosent have the greatest reputation around this site. They make good products in most aspects, its just that they tend to over estimate the power that those products produce. They are also VERY expensive. I am almost dead positive that for that much if not a hundred or two more you could have afr heads and a somewhat less drastic cam, and prolly be easier on the car and make more power. AFR are the way to go!

AFR's $2182 untouched. Cam $300-400. It will make a good bit more than the SLP package.

Not much that SLP sells is worth your $$$.
