I was told by a local well respected tuner that cams and heads give you the most bang for the buck.

I didn't want to do the BB kit til she was ready for a top end job.. but thought about it.

After doing the stage 1, I really didn't notice much difference.. wanted more..

After doing the cams, I noticed a lot of difference for the good, So much, I am not sorry I didn't do the 103 at the same time at all.

Maybe somewhere down the road I do the heads and/or BB ??

Just really happy with the way she is now..
