Well, I'm picking up a set of Vortecs for "very" cheap plus a trade on some parts that I will never need. Even if I had $500 worth of work done on them, I'd be into them for under $700. And I don't think the work I need will cost that much :crosses fingers:.

I think that with a hot cam or the zz4 cam would work out really well and depending on the port job you'll see over 400hp. The worlds heads could support the same power but now you can sell them to pay for the vortec Stealthram  |
True. Plus, I'll have my existing TPI setup to sell as well. The whole thing is powdercoated, and I have the SLP runners and ported plenum as a bonus. It looks good, and works well for a 305.
