Right. From what I can see you can't read.

I guess I'm not allowed to misread. If I read his right I wouldn't have even posted the last one as now I see how he meant it.

I have a question for the OP. Where did you get the idea/motivation to do only heads, and no cam? There's a reason why there's not a heads only list.

That's the problem with these online sights. Everybody posts what they think/read. Nobody really posts what they've done. There's no valuable usable info in this thread.
I dont need to go out in my garage and build a heads only LT1 to find out it'd make a lot more power with a cam...

Cause heads are more expensive and a cam only setup will make more power. So it's half backwards, but not pointless either.

That's my point.

Realistically, you could have a set of heads that flow as much air as you could ever need, but if you're using a stock or small cam those heads will be a huge waste because the cam won't allow them to perform to their potential.

I still see nothing wrong with worked heads on a stock cammed motor,some do cam only and the heads dont really support too much in stock form so getting the big expense done first was a decision OP chose....Maybe there was a problem with his original heads or ?????????? None of that really matters OP chose to do it this way.
If heads were ported properly there will be a gain and i do agree with 1.6 or 1.7 rockers on this set up.......

The stock heads will provide more gains with a more aggressive cam than the stock cam will with ported heads.

I was referring to the people saying his idea is pointless without fact to back it up. Arguing cam only gains vs head only gains is like arguing the sky is or is not blue.

My buddy had a set of stock ported heads he threw on a car and it gained the car 2 tenths threw the 1/8th. The car already had 1.6 rockers so that may have helped some but there was some gain there just not as much as doing a cam instead of the heads.
