Is this worth it?

Actually before I ask if its worth it..will it work?. Small block 350 so it will bolt in my car. Currently my car is a tpi. Would I be able to convert these heads to adapt to my intake? or do i not have a choice other than to carb it. Oh. and im not worried about passing emissions.

Re: Is this worth it?

You're gonna need to call SDPC for their TPI base for Vortec heads. Using this, with Edelbrock TPI runners and a ported plenum, you'll be around 365 horses. This is very similar to an engine package SDPC already offers. Price ($2000) isn't too bad, maybe you should buy it. You will need some computer reprogramming.
