My primary concern is splitting the stock block, so I am shooting for a goal of 400 rwhp, hoping that if I stay around this number I won't have too many issues. <br /><br />I am debating between running AFR185's or Edelbrock Performers, and while that probably doesn't seem like much of a debate to a lot of folks, I'm thinking that the AFR's will make so much more power that it will put me in that block splitting zone. <br /><br />I am running a Comp cams custom grind, 230/236 dur. @ .050, .513/.526 lift with a 1.6 rocker. <br /><br />I am running an Edelbrock Performer RPM II intake with 70mm throttle body and spacer. I am running Edelbrock 1-5/8 inch equal length shorty headers, UPR offroad x-pipe, and Spintech cat-back. <br /><br />Finally, I am topping this build off with a Paxton Novi-1220 supercharger pullied for 10 psi with a power pipe. I am running 60 lb. injectors 255 lph high pressure Walbro, and an SCT "Big Air" mass air meter with an off the shelf tune by Bob Kurgan on an SCT chip. I am also running an AEM wideband 02 so that I can monitor the mixture and help dial in my Kurgan tune. <br /><br />So what do you guys think...which heads should I run, what do you think she'll put down?<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 14, 2008, 10:18 PM: Message edited by: Casey90GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1SLOWLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 558</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2008,6,14,22,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> man you better be putting out more than 400 with that charger and heads combo.
