Upgraded heads, stock cam?
Re: Upgraded heads, stock cam? It's rare for someone to swap heads before the cam. You would gain more power from a bigger cam than ported heads, the heads give you the power when you have a bigger cam that allows them to flow. It would be interesting to see what kind of gains ported heads with a stock cam give though.

Re: Upgraded heads, stock cam? I'm interested because I want a minimum impact to drivability. Figure the heads wont cause any loss of idle quality. I'd consider a mild cam afterwards.
So anybody tried it?

Re: Upgraded heads, stock cam? PK 01 SOM WS6 did this for reasons not known, and came up with about 370. Gained about 15/15. Do a search for it, and youll find the previous thread.

Re: Upgraded heads, stock cam? Might also add in 1.85 rockers if your going to just to heads, will give more lift and a little more duration for maybe another 5-10rwhp with little or no effect of driveability.
