ok, as far as heads, i really think im decided on some trickflow twisted wedge's. My questions are this: It says i need different push rods, where do i get em, and what length. Also, what cam is reccomended with a tw head/ trickflow street heat intake? I see they make a cam, but ive heard that it dosent like to idle with it, is there anything like it that will idle ok? Lastly, what brand rockers should i get to fit with this setup. OH, anyone know the cheapest place to get these? How about the cheapest new edlebrooks? thanks guys!

There was a good post on here recently that linked to a site that showed 100hp gain from heads cam and something else (headers?) they were talking about AFR's sorry but I can't link you up as I do not know where it is. It said the one style AFR's can give you 60hp alone.

Wow, a lot of questions in one post...

OK, as far as pushrods you should really measure to be sure, but I read that it's better to be too long than too short because you can always shim the rockers to make up for any extra length. I've swapped heads once and rockers twice, and I went with stock length pushrods both times and it was cool.

For the cam, some 94/95 guys use the TrickFlow Stage 1 with no real problems and it's a good cam for the money, but personally I'd go with something else. If you don't want to spend $325 for a custom I think the Comp Cams XE270HR and the Crower 15511 are great choices. They idle well with our computers and make great power.

For the rockers, I'd go with Crane or Scorpion. I personally had a bad experience with my Scorpion 1.6 pedestal mount rockers, but I think it was an isolated incident...I switched to Crane 1.72's and haven't had any issues plus I got some extra lift from the cam. But you could always go with other options such as the TrickFlow rockers, Comp Cams Pro Magnums (really nice), Crane Golds, or Harland Sharps...

Why don't you just go with one of the two Trick Flow kits. Includes the heads, cam, intake, roller rockers, push rods, valve covers, and all the gaskets to install 'em.

Also includes timing chain and looks like new head bolts. TFS-K514-350-370 is the street intake version while TFS-K514-360-350 is the Track Heat intake version.
