I would not skimp on the heads or cam. Like steelers said go with a quality set of heads like the TFS and get a cam later on down the road. It will save you alot of headaches and money in the long run. TRUST ME!!!

Scrimp on the heads and you'll be kicking yourself later. The heads are the main KEY to making power.

So other words don't waste my time or money on patriot heads. I'm working the holiday so I will order the heads in two weeks. Any particular place I need to order them from
