you don't absolutely 100% need heads and cams, but it'll be a lot easier with them. also, don't forget injectors.

edit: I made a post like this a while back on the mph boards... read the 13th post:

i got my heads ported for $1100. cams you can find used. i saw a set of MPH blower cams go for $150 a few weeks back.

you will always spend more than you think you are going to spend. i remember a few months back when i said i only had about $1500 left to go on my engine build. more than $4000 later i still owe about $700. it isnt cheap to build an engine..........at least in my case. i seem to buy every part i can find for my car.

Also, you should be able to buy an 04 cobra tank/pumps for around 600 used and a BAP for 250-300. I'd also look at running and intercooler and getting a smaller pulley than a 3.3. I'd try and get atleast 14psi out of your blower with that setup.

You could always upgrade your blower to the T Trim as well...

Why such a big pulley? You got a built motor go big or go home. (or should I say small). Id throw an 8 Rib Kit on it and go 3.0-2.85
