im looking for an engine combo! Let me start out buy saying that i plan to run a combo with a twin turbo (t3) setup. Im looking for a combo that is a little better than one w/aluminum trick flow heads with an F cam with 1.6 rockers. also what is a good intake manifold to go with, I like the look of the GT40 but im hearing that a cobra is better do to the fact that it can be ported. should i go with one of these two or another. The combo that im asking for is one that i can drive on a daily basis, not full out Track. i want to run about atleast a low 12, but my goal is more of a mid 11. HELP!!!!!!

You wont need much at all to get a TT setup into the 12s, a stock setup can do that.

As long as you keep the boost down, the stock block will be OK, just stay far away from detonation!

But AFR 165/185s, Edelbrock/Holley intakes and a custom cam would be better than the "TFS head" setup.

I would go with the 165s and an RPM intake, and just crank up the boost when/if needed.

What boost levels do you plan on running?
Make sure your fuel system is up to the task.
