Ok, well as soon as my tax return gets here i'm doing the HCI. I allready have a GT40 upper and lower intake ready to be installed. I'm going to have the shop install heads and a cam while she in there since it will save rme labor in the long run. The shop recommended a set of GT40X heads and a E cam. Is this a decent combo or should i go with a TW or AFR and a more agressive cam? How about aftermarket rockers, I see people throwing them on too? I'd liek to get everything together so i can just bring it to them and have it all installed at once. Any opinion on a powerful but cost effective setup?

Thanks

will throwing on 1.7 rockers make a difference in power? Is that cam loopy?

I have the TFS1 cam and it sounds really nice (headers, off road H, flowmasters)
Good cam for low end power.

All the heads you mentioned are good, the TF stuff is nice and you can ususally get some good deals if you look around.

I'd go with AFR heads, but I live 30 min away from them. Id go bigger than the e-cam but also watch for piston/valve clearance.
