Hey Guys, I already have my performer, catback, hpipe, picking up
some longtubs and 65mm tbody. nothing installed yet

I'm guessing I'll pick up a good 50HP.

I'm very eager to have this installed. But I'm wondering if I should wait
until I get the some heads and cam. My brother would install it for me
but I really don't wan to take advantage and use his time 2x.

I really can't afford AFR heads right now. Probably won't for a while.
So getting some used heads for $600 + $100 cam will be the way to go.

how long until you get your heads? if its a good while away, i would just go ahead and do all of it now, but if you are gonna get your heads in like a month or so...just wait, it will be worth it.

Throw them on now. It will give you and your brother a 'trial run" before you did deaper into the heads. With a very similar setup (but with pulleys) I ran 13.83 at 98.5 in my vert, some coupe guys are running mid 13's at 100mph or better with similar setups. Put it on and have fun!!!

As far as the heads go, I think it would be until summer. If I get a good summer job.

I think I'll go ahead and install all of that, but get some pullies also.

Its going to a vert too you know
