i have a 2002 gt with bbk lt headers bbk cai 70mmtb and plenum steeda underdrive pulleys, and a diablo sport predator (93 tune)

i am thinking about getting the patriot performance stage 2 heads and comp cams stage 2 with the cam gears aswell?? what do you guys think, is it really worth it, will i get a hole lot diffrence in hp and torque?? when doing the head should i get new gasket and valve springs or stock works just fine? how much will installation cost me? more or less?? is it worth the money? or with the money ima spend on that should i get something else? i dont want a bottle so 4get that and turbo or sc is way too expensive



thanks in advance guys

Not to bad-mouth Patriot -- I'm not -- but if you're looking at doing the heads then consider Trick Flow's twisted wedge heads for the 2V:

Take a look at MMR heads too. They come with everything from valves to PI cams and you can upgrade them before you get them too. For cams if staying N/A go Hitech Stage 2 or 3. I am installing stage 2 in the next couple of months.
