Would I be dumb buying heads/cam w/o knowing if I will go FI, Bore/Stroke, or N20???? I can get a great deal on stage 3 heads/cam and wanna get a set really bad, and my future plans include either
1. Bored/stroked engine with spray
2. Bore/stroke & forced induction,
3. Just heads cam and spray
I haven't decided yet which combo I wanna go with, but I was wondering if it would be much wiser to wait until I know exactly which combo I'm gonna use???
Is there a head/cam combo that will work with all these combos????? Believe it or not I'd still like to pass emissions in the future too...

Re: Would I be dumb buying heads/cam w/o knowing if I will go FI, Bore/Stroke, or N20???? A stage 3 combo would be a good choice for you, but just incase you don't want to spend much money I have a nice stage 1 heads/cam setup for sale for $1000. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: Would I be dumb buying heads/cam w/o knowing if I will go FI, Bore/Stroke, or N20???? I have a set of ARE S1's for sale too, not as cheap as Terry's S1's though <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
Problem with doing the heads/cam before the new motor is that the bottom end size influences your cam selection and head selection. If you buy a set of heads ported for the stock 3.9 bore when you go all bore (4.1 bore) you will need to have your chambers opened up and likely a larger valve. (2.08/1.60) plus all the porting changes accompanying it.
Good luck,
Chris

Would a stage 3 head setup and B1/T1 cam be OK to use for forced induction or spray at a later date???
