Rockes Arms and Cam Question

[SuperDust22]

I am getting a Cobra intake and I was thinking about getting new rocker arms and a high performance cam. What rockers arms and cam will give me alot of hp/Tq and still be a good daily drive and won't kill my wallet. How much money am I looking at and what kind of Hp/Tq am I going to get?

I would wait to do the cam once you do heads. The stock heads suck as far as flow.

I know but the heads are a lot of money right now. Should I just get the head redone instead of getting new ones?

 

[GTJake]

I would just make a plan for your car and then buy parts that fit that plan. I wanted some AFR's, so I didn't go out and buy some GT-40's just because I wanted decent performance at that instant. Save your money for what you really want. A cam won't do a whole lot on stock heads. A mild cam might help a little now, but then once you buy heads, you'll have to buy a more aggressive cam. It's your choice though.

Yeah I should just wait. The problem is I am going to school full time so. I have to wait along time. GT jake do you like your AFR's. Have you ever ran the 1/4.

 

[GTJake]

I don't have AFR's, yet. I'm ordering them this Friday. I'm away at school full time too so I hear ya about the money issue. My advice would be to just save a little longer....that's what I'm doing. I just work at much as I can during breaks and during the summer.

Yeah that's what I have to do. How much do the AFR run.

 

[GTJake]

Retail is $1,325 for the 165cc.

Jake

 

[SuperDust22]

Well, let me know how you like them and if you take to the track again let me know what you ran.

 

[GTJake]

Sure, no problem.

KillerCanary has run a best of 12.3@111mph with the 60cc Pedestal mount AFR 165cc's.
