Not necessarily, you don't know what the guy's car weighs.

First questions (before suggesting heads, cam and intake) are to know your current mods and how much 'a huge amount of money' is to you.

Those are all around $3,000 installed, so let's find out his budget before suggesting he spend 3 grand on the car which might still be running stock manifolds.
