forged build questions

[v6tungsten]

Is it advisable to upgrade heads when building a motor or just stay with oem used head on current motor? I was looking at buying the ford racing heads M-6050-N3VPA. Next I wanted to upgrade to a supercharged cam. Is it better to wait until the new build with new heads or can I install the cam now on current motor and switch it to the forged motor when built?

Build will be a supercharger motor capable of 600-700 rwhp

I'm having my heads freshened up (probably just a valve job, possibly a guide or two if any are needed,) after I do some light porting if I see anything really out of whack.

Running stock cams with limiters, stock valve springs, and keeping my fingers crossed.

Heads are ridiculously expensive. Yes you'll make more power, but it's costly.

Why would you run limiters with stock cams?

I was looking at this cam for build. http://www.brenspeed.com/detroit3vsc.html

Just not sure if i should install it in my current non forged engine. it might be a year or so before i forge my engine.

You would need every supporting mod you can get including heads/cams to get that power out of the saleen blower.

I'll be switching blowers to DoB and a TVS2.3 to get to 700. Saleen might get to 600 max but i'm guessing 550 rwhp with the saleen.

this to upgrade the oem tvs2.3

Lito sees more cam timing varations than he'd like - I don't want to completely give up the system but the limiters will help them only retard so far.

do cams and valve springs at least so u don't float the valves!!!

I was in the same boat and ended up buying a set of used heads,
Upgraded springs and sent them out to have it out on and pnp. When ran through the cost it was cheaper that way for a head that had much better flow number.
