long story short, i found today that i have a leaking head gasket. so im considering buying new heads instead of just replacing the gaskets, since the heads will have to come off anyway. then i considered getting new cams, since the heads will be new anyway. i started adding this up and realized its going to be close to $2,500. then i thought i could buy a brand new engine from MPH for a bit more than that. what are some opinions? i still cant decide whether to stay N/A forever, or get blown eventually. if i do go the N/A route, i want a radical street car w/ aggressive cams. what kinda lift and duration should i look for? what about the specs on the heads? what do you think?

If you are blown or N/A, either way get the MPH stage 2.5 heads.

Then decided what you want as far as N/A or blown, then call Tim up and get some of their custom grind cams.

I personally dont have any experience with them, but I have yet to read anything negative and their results and customer loyalty speaks for itself.
