im not 100% sure, but im pretty sure your going to need the cams also, i purchased the trick flow heads and im 100% pleased with them. if you want hp go with the trickflow, you are able to reuse some parts, so you dont need to buy anything else but the heads.(comes assembled, with cam, sprockets, etc.) well worth the investment and you dont have modify crap.

The pi cams make a big difference as well as the intake.

i did find some pi heads fully assembled in jegs for 400 each is that a good price

you can find them cheaper....

thats about the cheapest youll get brand new. and yes you can reuse your cams, modularheadshop.com sells pi cams though for $60. if youre swapping to pi heads, do yourself a favor and at least do pi cams and a pi intake at the same time. all of the timing components will swap over.

a better option is at least some custom cams also from modularheadshop or comp cams, or whatever. the pi intake is fine for your power level though.
