got some extra $$$$ what to get?


heres a quick list of what im working on.

306 w/i beam rods, KB forged pistons re-ground stock crank and flywheel
all new clevite bearings throughout, and racing power rings
TFS upper and lower 70mm tb
all other bolt ons imaginable (stock heads)(stock injectors)
i have 30 pound injectors but no mass air i had to sell that but turned that money around quick.

so i have about 900 give or take and dont know if i should go with heads or get that fuel stuff on i have the supporting pump already installed.
or should i go by myself a nice looking hood or something?
my headlights are melted so i can barley see with the beams on at night.
but would like the power over looks??????

Look for a set of used heads. Then save for injectors. Then get a tune. Don't mess with trying to fool your computer with a mass air sensor for larger injectors. Do it the right way and tell the computer what injectors you are using.

Just a thought, you could probably get about 4-5 nights with a cheap hooker for $900. You may have to shop around, but the deals are out there.

No, Darrel mean get a maf that isn't calibrated for injectors. Which will require a tune, which will run you about 350 plus.

No, get a good mass air meter but don't use the meter to fool the computer into compensating for larger injectors. Many people do that and it works but alot of people chase idle and driveability problems that can be linked back to an aftermarket mass air meter. The best way to do it is to get a good mass air meter and then have the car tuned and a chip burned. The tuner can then "tell" the computer what injectors are in the engine.

get new heads but if you do get a new mass air to because stock is very restrictive and does not allow motor to run to optimum power becasue it limits so much air flow
