Default cam or heads and cam?

Ok I am thinking about getting a cam now and then getting stage 2 heads later. but do yall think I should just wait and get it all at the same time? I was thinking about getting a reverse split cam and I have no clue what kind of heads. I dont plan on doing any kinda stroker motor or bored motor but I would possibly put a 150 to 200 wet shot on the car.

all that i know, and that is not much, is that the stock heads prolly cant take the same kind of wicked lift and what not that a set of stage II heads can. you may just want to go a milder cam now and swap that later along with the heads. just hold up some bank playa-we all know your from the hood!

Alot of people do the heads later. Just make sure you upgrade your springs and push rods when you do the cam. You will still get good gains.

See "Dyno results for GTP 2 heads/ reverse split cam!!" posted September 24th

Car is a blast to drive, I had fun when it was stock but nothing compared to now.

if you have the $$ go cam and heads. (there where other mods also done at the same time)

can't go wrong what ever you do, good luck
