A frined is selling me the X1 cam for 200 dollars. MTI's valvetrain is 379. Would it be better to get this a shaner TB, subframes, and other stuff. Or just try to get a heads and cam?? Suggestions on the packages??

dont waste you money on the springs for your stock heads when you buy a set it will be wasted money....i would buy the pp heads for 1395.00 and put that cam in and you will be making over 400 rwhp..oh yea and you can buy the pushrods from them for less than 100.00 dollars ....

hpe also offers a killer stage 2 head in that price range also that would fit in your budget....they sell the heads out the door for 1499.00 and im sure chuck will hook you up on the gaskets and pushrods for a good deal....
