Heads or cams?

Although I'd love to do both, it looks like I will be short on money. That being said which one would be more beneficial with a KB, 20 psi, long tubes,shortblock, etc....

Opinions welcome
Thanks Mike

I've heard heads barely add much - CAMS are where it's at.

That would be my first upgrade...

Cams help much more than head work. I like to replace the valves and do a little port work but not much. Cams is where it is at!!!

Well I had to answer that question for myself about 4 months ago and I chose just the cams and I ran a 10.76.
Jim did clean up the heads so everything seated well but there was no port job at all.
So I would say just the cams.

Well if I had money to do something, I would go for the cams and have the heads cleaned up a little.

Cams it is. Now which ones? Crower stage 2's seem to be common. Any other good street choices?
Thanks
Mike

Stay with the stage 2s, the 3s are a bit too radical and they blow some boost out the exhaust.
