Ok so I got an E303 cam and an RPM air gap on my car im running a carb setup on a 1990 roller block I know I need heads to make any decent power, So my question is does anyone think ill lose power cuz of valve float and what not with the cam ohh also I have 4.10s on a 5 lug anyone got any input am I going in the right direction with this?

You will make good power with the setup and a good carb will help. Do u still hav the SHO on juice?

5 lug is known to add about 15rwhp you should be good [Big Grin]

you will lose power unless you change the valve springs, which IMO isn't worth it with stock heads, keep the cam for later it will make more power with the stock cam.

Just dont rev it that high,you dont have a rev limiter?Valve float will break shit.Like the setup man,ive had a few carbureted roller blocks had good luck with all of them [burnout]
