Heads? A 1250 doesn't require you to change/work your heads. You can use all your other stock parts as well (rods, lifters, etc.) Which kit are you going with?

Do you have a target hp/tq number? Your heads with work should be plenty. A good job on those heads include valves, springs, stems seals, the works. Basically new.

Many have, including me. I did cams too though. BIG difference.

I was thinking of doing cams as well, But just leaving the stock 1200cc.....you think thats a good idea? If you change the cams and the get the 1250 kit do you need to replace other components? rockers, rods, etc?

With 497's no need to change anything. Thats what I went with. they are perfect if you'll do the 1250 later.

Just call NHRS, tell them want you want to accomplish, they know their chit.

Damn, I'm starting to feel like a NHRS salesman today, and that's not the case. I only recommend their products and services as I do with other companies I have had good experience.
