NO the 650 bucks is shipped, the heads are bare, so I need to add valves (thanking about Manley) and I need to buy the intake, I think its like $215 from GM (I like those red intakes ).
My mechanic friend and I are going to put on everything on at once. Cam kit, 1.6 RR's Heads, intake, LT4 ED timing chain, and PCmforless programming.
Going to go FAST, lol

i would go with a bigger cam like the 230/236 if you are planning on doing all this heads swapping and plan for big heads later. Why not just buy one cam.

I have a set of mildly ported LT1 heads that prob flow about the same as LT4 heads. I installed the cc306. I dont like it, its to much cam. Since the cam wants more air then the heads can give, im not getting the kinda of power i should, and my driveablitly sucks. I have since learned the value of a cam that is well matched to the heads. Im putting my stock cam back in and im gonna start jucing it. Pleanty of power at the track when i want it, and no drivablily or gas losses.

Go with a cam like the 305. Get one custom ground with higher lift if you can afford it. Dont go huge because the power wont be there without more porting. Even if you are gonna port the heads out more later, dont get a big cam now. Cams are easy to swap if youuve already got the heads off. Huge cams are cool to drive around for the first few months, or only on weekends in light traffic, but if you drive yours everyday like i do, you'll get sick of it fast.
