But that would be his bigger NA cams, but he said he would expect no less than 10 over regular PI cams with his recession busters. That would make up the difference in not having heads.He told me for my power goals, a solid 13 second car, maybe 12s with the right suspension and tires, but for a street machine it would be faster on install and cut some of the costs, IE headchange and other things.He said I may not see the HP as most PI swaps, but I will have good torque. At least around 300+ peak with a very nice curve, and the ability to walk any stock PI. A PI swapped car will get me, I won't have peak potential, but for my goals, he said it's very viable.He was on the phone for 30 or so minutes with me, very friendly and from what I've read and seen, knows his stuff.So I guess I'll do an NPI build for now and explore other options towards this engine's downfall.Or maybe next time go ported heads, NPI motors and parts are dirt cheap compared to any PI setups.</blockquote>
