Default Head Packages?

So i was surfing the web and found this web site, (accordperformance.com) that sells complete head packages with cylinder heads, cams, throttle bodies, intake manifolds. They're about 1,550 for the whole package and it claims to add about as much horsepower as a turbo. Are these worth it? Will they screw up my engine? i havn't heard too many people talk about this so i was wondering what the deal was. thanks

they will add as much as a turbo runnin 2 psi... just cuz it says itll add as much as a turbo, doesnt mean itll add as much as a turbo runnin high psi... thats a tricky advertising scheme...hell you can add a turbo to a car and have it run 1 psi and make like...10 horsepower... dont believe everything you hear. waste of money when you can put together a junkyard turbo setup for that much money

45 to 55 is unlikely...maybe 20-30...not worth it

45-55?
Well, depending on the turbo setup, tuning, psi levels, you can easily boost 100+ hp.
45-55 sound more like supercharged numbers to me.
But w/e it dosn't matter.
