Impossible to answer that question for you because we have no idea of what you plan on doing with the car (drag,daily driver,weekend crusier). Like I said in my other post you should do some research here and you will find all your answers without even having to ask a question (use the search button). I will say that there are lots of places that have some excellent head/cam packages (mostly sponcers to the right------->). Your location could be a big factor also.
