heads and cam help!!! please reply if you can help me

Okay first of all i want to know how much it would cost me to take my heads out and get an stage 2 port.........is that good enough or should i just get some new heads that are already ported....

i am also wanting to cam my car, should i get an cam now with my stock heads or should i wait.....i dont need a crazy cam or anything(daily driver).....but i was wandering if i should just get an hot cam now with some as&m headers andd y-pipe with 3.73s and a electric water pump or i should wait AWHILE longer and put heads and cam on together(BUT WILL TAKE ME AWHILE TO DO)

WITH A HOT CAM BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR STOCK HEADS THAT ARE PORTED...HOW MUCH RWHP AM I LOOKING AT WITH THAT COMBO.

if you go with a hotcam + bolt ons ppl average around 320-330rwhp

if you go a little bigger (but not radical) cam +boltons+ported heads ppl average 370rwhp properly tuned of course

how fast do you want to go = how much you want to spend
