If you want some new heads, find you a set of stage 2 ported heads from companies like livernois, fox lake, mmr, etc. Then you can sell your stock PI heads for anywhere from 200-300 bucks to get some of your money back.

I will add though.... I would spend the money elsewhere. like on some bigger cams. Or instead of spending 1000-1200 bucks on some heads, save up another 1000 and have a supercharger kit.

Im telling you right now. You will regret spending 1500 or so on heads/cams when you see that you gained VERY LITTLE power. 2 weeks later you will be thinking "**** this, i shouldve saved up another 500 for another 100rwhp. I am still on stock suspension right now. Im working on suspension now but it was still alot more fun then a head/cam package.

i agree with baker too, supercharger it first. its so much fun having all that power. my supercharger cost me $3000 for everything and a three year warranty.

Look at this guys 1/4 time and rwhp. You wont see anything like that without going with a blower.

You can get used blower kits for 1800-2000. No reason to not have a centri blower/intercooled kit on your car for less than 2500.

swap to 4 valve? I have tumble port heads, timing cover, cams, 01 cobra intake, everything you need to convert to a 4 valve on you engine, for $700. All in excellent condition. get you to around 400 hp

have the water crossover and alt bracket too? Even without that isnt a bad deal. a 4v head swap with stock cams will cost less than worked 2v heads + cams, and will make better power in the long run. If you plan on changing rods/pistons some day consider the 4v swap.

it's useless to get na power out of a 2v. you'll always make more power per dollar with a power adder than you will with a na setup, even if you spend big bucks on na.

I know I have the crossover, but i'm not sure about the alt bracket, I'll have to raid the top of my garage haha.
It's still a good deal though, the cobra intake I have is brand new, and used ones on ebay are bringing $450
