Your getting PI intake/cams but not the heads themselves? Thats going to hurt you.

You should be pleased with the results, you will pick up decent power. But the real benefit will be better driveability - if the place you get it from customizes it for the cams and long tubes like we do. Not doing the heads now will keep you from getting the most power out of it, but it's more affordable to do it a little at a time - you could get one of the 3 tunes for the PI heads and then when/if you ever do them, the tune will be there and be correct for them.

Have fun!

Do your research first....the intake and cams are documented to make good power gains per dollar spent, moreso than the money the heads will cost.

If your not planning on doing any forced induction in the future, sure - NPI heads are fine with that setup, based on $ per HP gained.
