i've been thinking of going to a TPI setup on my car, and im kinda on a tight budjet. i can get a full tpi setup, wiring, and heads for 550 dollars out of a salvage yard. What im wondering is, if i would have a decent setup if i got the heads and had them ground for some larger valves, and had them ported. allso, what is a good valve size to step up to.?

the biggest valves that will go into a 305 head (without shenanigans) are 1.94s (intake). A 350 head are like 2.02s.
