I have a new set-up going on in about two weeks here is the list:
Gt-40 heads with uprgaded valvetrain
e-303
cobra intake
accufab 65mm tb
AFPR
I already have pretty much all the bolts ons(CAI,U/D,Shorties,Ignition box, gears....)

Should i pick up 1.6 or 1.7 RRs? And why?

Are the stock injectors and fuel pump enough to handle this set-up?

Also should i replace the lifters and pushrods along with the timing chain and cover?

Id say the car will run fine with the stock injectors, but would run MUCH better if you upgrade the injectors with the matching mass air unit.

I know a lot of people run 1.7's with e-cams. Get good rockers, not shitty ones. They are not all the same.

I just bought new trickflow hardened pushrods for my car. I could have used stock ones, but for $95 bucks, it was worth the investment IMO.

bigger air meter and injectors would be a good add on. That way when you decide to upgrade later it is already on your car, you won't have to buy another air meter, or send it back to get it recalibrated. And make sure the springs on the heads can handle the cam with the 1.7 rockers. A 190lph intank fuel pump isalso a good add on. Hope this helps. Other than that your combo looks good. Have you already bought the parts?

Looks like I will be swapping the e cam for a b cam and 1.7 roller rockers. Probably gonna stick with the 19s and stock pump temporarily but I will pick up an aftermarket meter. Anything else.....

The B-cam w/ 1.7 is a healthy set up, make sure to check piston to valve clearances when installing everything. I would recommend the crane gold in a 1.7! I wouldnt worry about the injectors for now if you cant afford it, just turn the fuel pressure up to 48 with the vacuuom off. I would look into a C&L 76mm MAF, they are easily upgraded when you do get the larger injectors by replacing the air tube( like $20) [patriot]

Cuz you just need the sample tube for C&L depending on what injectors you are running. I would recommend 24 lb injectors minimum or you WILL NOT be happy with the way the car performs. I have 19's on my setup with a STOCK cam and it is still pissing me off [Mad] [Mad]
