    I'm looking to get a set of heads for my setup, and I'm leaning towards the 185's. What can I realistically expect from these power-wise?

    Stupid cats

    Thanks guys, I think I'm going to get either the Catco H or the Dynomax H. Luckily, its just visual inspection where I live, there is no sniffer yet :rolleyes: . But can I expect the stink to go away once I get it on there? Because it didn't bother me that much before, but everytime I drive...

    Is this a misfire?

    Yeah, it shakes at a cold idle. My friend who had it before me said he retarded the timing for a little more lump in the lope.. so I'm guessing it will be gravy if I put it back to a less radical setting.
