Heads/Cam Questions
I want to put some heads on my 98 mn6 im not afraid to do the heads but i am terrified of messing with the cam. I dont think ill ever be able to get hte thing back in sync as far as the timing goes. Its probably because im cross eyed who knows. Is there any performanc gains to be had just but changing the heads? which would you go with? Am i crazy about the cam thing?

The title of your thread indicates you are insane so I will address you as clearly as I would any other insane modder (is that redundant?).
Question: Is there any performanc gains to be had just but changing the heads?
Answer: Swapping the heads and not the cam is insane.
Question: Which would you go with?
Answer: Get the AFR 205cc heads as big a cam as your stomach can handle.
Question: Am i crazy about the cam thing?
Answer: Of course you are. Swapping a cam is child's play if you use jmX's website as your guide. Click on the link below.

I would not do heads without changing the cam, and springs. The cam will take advantage of the improved chambers. Can't help you with install information, because I'm mechanically challenged beyond simple stuff and plan on going to More Performance or Dragon Breath when I do those mods.
P.S. I'm really hot for the redhead, what's her name?

If you are going to do the heads, do the cam at the same time.

I am not answering any tech questions until you hold up your end of the deal and show us what the thread title lured us here for.
