The following is a copy of my summer shopping list…id like a little advice…does anyone have any suggestions for some quality heads that would work well with this setup?...and do I need roller lifters if im buying new heads?? also, does anyone see any problems with any of this…

FMS E303 cam - FMS timing chain – Crane 1.72 roller rockers – FMS hardened pushrods – BBK performance pulleys – MSD blaster tfi coil – msd high performance cap & rotor kit – venom 400 control module chip – MSD 6a hi energy performance ignition system – optima battery – edelbrock performer intake manifold – BBK 70mm throttle body – BBK fenderwell cold air intake – stant 180 degree thermostat

…1 more question…are the black vacuum tubes near the throttle body necessary…what do they do…are they part of the smog system…can I remove all that crap down there???....thanks in advance for the help……oh yeah…..i know its hard….but what do you think this setup would yield in regards to HP and torque…ur best guess!

I would ditch those and save up for heads. You will probably see the most gain with your combo from that. With the performer you will have proper airflow... but how is it going to fit out through those stock heads Plenty of intake mods... but do you have any exhaust mods? What comes in, isn't always the same amount that comes out.

My guess is 250-260hp with what you want. With the mods i made for you with AFR's im guessing ~300.
