IL. I understand where he is coming from. It wouldn't be for a while but, ya a K&N drop-in, intake gaskets, anything else you'd need

Alright cool. So basically I wouldn't or shouldn't need to get anything else with all the stuff you'd add in with the heads and intake. But yeah I'll talk it over with my dad to see what he thinks.

That means I would have to buy a tuner and get a custom tune though, and that's more money lol

Just quick math of what I have off the top of my head,not counting the price of the heads or machining I have about $1250 into the heads and have another $580 in parts plus the machining to get them together

Why get them machined? And new internals on the head? So valves and all that?

Just surfacing them to put on your motor. And yes,I'd go all new everything on heads. That's a big job just to have one small part fail and have to take the whole top of the motor off.
