ok my friends is trying to decide what to run on his car , currently is running cast iron gt40s , edelbrock RPM intake , E303 cam and 150 wet shot , but now he wants more LOL , sound familiar , hes got about 2500-2800 bucks coming in soon , should he

a. AFR 185 heads ,24 lbs inj. , roller rockers , and keep spraying

b. gt40 x heads ($999), and put on 24 lbs injectors and poweryne 9lbs blower ($1599), sell the nitrous kit to buy injectors

c. leave his heads upgrade springs on them ($130) and buy a SQ kit ($2599)and ditch the nitrous or leave it and spray small shot ?????? if he goes this route buying the 24 lbs injectors will be hard pressed for the money ....

man decisions get hard on these things when the aftermarket is soo full of options

option a and b are nice. i like option b due to the fact that if the guy needs the power all the time he will be satisfied. mind you if faster time slips is all he is after then i bet option a would be the fastest of the 3

i say B. a s/c's power is always there and a nitrous kit is only at times.

so you want boost that mean less compression to be boost friendly so i'm going to have to say the 64cc.

I'd go with 64cc chambers just to stay on the safe side.
