    Good price/combo for x-302 gt-40 heads

    a stage one port job wont outflow trick flows but they are still decent heads and even better with some port work. I would get the flow sheet on em too so you know exactly what you are getting, and not just someones word on it.

    what mod

    if you are still running the stock heads then I might wait until the head swap to do the cam personally. go with a 65mm throttle body and 1.7 or 1.72 rockers. they are cheap and you will need them anyway. i also agree on the timing advance with the spray. you running cooler plugs or...

    which ProM to replace my C&L 76mm MAF?

    you would definitely pick up alot of power with a better cam. Did you go with high compression or low compression pistons? or did you just go 9:1?? I also agree, HP numbers aren't everything. Just nice to look at :D you can have all the power in the world but if you can't put it to...
