OK, well here is what I’m pretty much set on, although there could be a few minor changes.
Bow Tie performance Vortec Heads
Vortec Intake Manifold
Hot cam
Ceramic Coated headers
1.6 ratio rockers
2" carb spacer
This comes in a few hundred under my budget, leaving room for exhaust or possible changes in the kit.
I am not sure on the cam specs, this is all part of a matched kit from GM. After a brief discussion with Halas, he mentioned being able to go a bit more aggressive on the cam than the cam that would typically come in that kit.
Any ideas? I know that I cannot go beyond .530 lift with these heads, and I have been told that I should stick around 250 duration…
I would also like to upgrade to a “roller cam” setup… any ideas?
One last thing I need, is recommendations on exhaust. I love it loud and nascar-ish. I hear dual 2.50" with X-Pipe is best, although i dont know what to do for mufflers, and I cannot find anyone who makes Tailpipes for my car with some brief internet searches.
Thanks
