Simple question, simple answer. Stock motor minus cold air. Will edlebrock performer rpm heads and an E cam work? I know MAF *should* be upgraded along with injectors, manifold, etc. But, will the heads and cam work on a stock engine?

with an E cam, the only reason you would need to ugrade your springs, is because of valve float. But valve float wouldnt start until like 6200 rpms. And i dont think you will be running your rpms that high very often.

Yeah Im gettin the fully assembled set. The complete heads have everything but the rockers right? Is the 1.6 a good choice for a roller rocker?
