I got it i am in the process of talking to him, Its a little exspensive but i think it will turn out better. Bc i dont know much about heads and what to buy and what to do to them. But its going to be like $1500 after i get the heads done and get the rest of the valvetrain i need. So i am debating it right now.
If you go that way you know what you got and can always mod further into them and they will accomodate and accept it nicely!

Yeah i was planing on getting it tuned. But I just bought the hot cam kit, and the full felpro gasket kit, and a 3400 tci stall, and ac delete pulley, and the egr block off plates. I still need to get pacesetter long tubes, o2 extensions, pushrods, lifters and a tune. But soon enough she will be back on her way.
