Question Running after-market heads on a stock cam.

I'm the kind of person that likes to do a lot of things at once. I'm not to fond of the idea of having to put headers on my car and then have to take them right back off just to bolt on some heads. So I'm considering waiting until I have enough money to do both at once. But I was wondering how will after-market heads affect an engine with a stock cam? Will I experience any negative results by doing this?

Thanks

Since the heads are off, might as will rebulid the engine..... Get it all done at once, save time and money, because you wont have to tear down again....


JMO...

I written a list down of what I need for a complete rebuild, and buying parts when I can afford it... Once all the parts are gathered, then I will rebuild.... Do it once and get it over with..
I hate going back and forth.....

Well when you go to change heads tell me this, when you unbolt the headers do you just let them lay to the side? I was told you have to remove the headers when doing a head swap. Is this true or have I been misinformed?
