I understand your point, but with all due respect, I would never change a cam without new (and matching) lifters. The cost (ignoring inflation) will not change between now and then. The idea of the head swap is to bump the compression up. I just don't know what performance gains I would get, or if the cam would net me the same numbers. I know, a whole lot of bench racing here.....
On second thought, that's not true....I would have the cost of various gaskets involved, so I guess you're right. Now, where did I plant that money tree?
