there def not god...

but yeah like jordan said..they are decent heads, the rpm's are better and victor jr's are too big..but yeah twisted wedge, GT40x turbo swirl, canfields are all good heads..you gotta go with 1.94" intake or smaller on any non tiwsted wedge heads..

yeah thats still a decent idea..is that the normal performer..if it is..plan to sell it, an performer rpm air gap or torker II would accent that cam, those heads and carb so much better..

yeah cuz that performer isnt much better than stock..the air gap and torker II flow alot better..why crower for the cam? cuz ryan must have told you too..also look into custom comp, or custom from jay allen or ed curtis...

comp cams makes extreme energy cam with like .274/.282 duration and .555/.565" lift..with a set of fms 1.72 roller rockers that thing would be very lopey and have alot of throttle response..

also ryan will throw you away from them but the f or b cam with 1.6-1.72 roller rockers arent bad for mild street cars..i basically have GT40 top end just with f303 and fms 1.72 rr's and i ran 12.86 1/4 miles with drag radials..so i makes good pwr

so compared to my setup which is the performer intake, and stock heads with the 4v demon carb..would the air gap, tw heads and comp energy cam or crower cam make a big hp difference.
