Default Between a Stock and a 4v place

First I have a NPI 4.6 motor.

Looked at patriot heads stage 2 and comp cams, saw nice results.Little weary about the 10.1 compression but already use premium fuel. Moving along I have about 3k to spend and dont want to supercharge a NPI motor. Thats never a good idea with all that internal non pi airflow resictrion.
Going with a 3.73 cobra rear end assembly. It has IRS
Stickin with stock PI manifold, no real good dyno results that show me I need to spend upwards of 900 bucks for an aftermarket one except for dress.

So my question is what is a good compination of a head cam swap that beats some of them chevy fan boys with the oversized LT1's.
Or do I go with an Teksid DOHC build up.

OK...

First, are you planning to do the labor yourself? If not, you are short of cash and need to make some priority choices.

That aside, which Comp Cams are you picking for your build? Allow some extra cash for new beehive springs and retainers if you are going for really big cams.

The intakes out there start with the typhoon for about $500, but yes, it will only add maybe 15 hp.

You aren't going to beat the built LT's with just a head-cam swap, but you CAN get a lot more competitive than you are now.

youve always have option for the giggle juice. heads, cams and N20 with a tune...id say youd be alright. make sure you have subframes. ya your compression will be a lil high but with a proper tune 75 shot would be ok.
