Head and cam selection help for 440

I have seriously thought about sending my heads to PRH because i know they will be bad to the bone then! As far as the cam, all ive heard is how outdated and sucky MP cams are and thats the only reason i figured i needed something newer..? Ive always liked the old MP cams but what do i know..

I would have no problem putting some 1.6 rockers on that cam and letting her rip.After it is all back together and tuned in you can do a cam swap later and see what the difference is.You might be surprised.Sure you can spend money for a cam that will make more power but I think you have more initial gain in heads/head work and the rockers will help as well.Don't have to tear it all the way down for a head swap.A couple of intake gaskets and your time is all you are out for a cam swap later.Spring selection is important with heads if you plan to upgrade cams later.
