Go for it, or maybe even look at some AFR's ? I'm sure you can get some twisted wedges for a bit cheaper tho, and it'll match your cam.

oops...didnt see that.

Without the heads your missing out on some serious HP (obviously) Heads and cams are like peanut butter and jelly. They are okay by themselves but when you put them together....thats when the magic happens. haha

add the heads and some 1.7 rockers to inprove flow no need for a cam yet something with a 1.90" valve will work great

So should he take out the cam he already has installed and switch back to a stock one?

Aw man you don't know the half of it! First, it's an SN95 so the thing is a pain in the **** to tune to begin with. They just don't seem to like mods. So finally, after getting the S/C installed I get it tuned beautifully. Then I toss on the boost gauge and realzie I'm only getting 5 - 6 PSI of boost on a 10 pound pulley!

Well after pullnig my hear out of my *** I realzied that I still had my underdrive pulleys on, and they were causing the S/C pulley to turn less, thus causing less boost. So I had to swap out the three pulelys and then start all over again from square one now that I was getting the full 10 PSI I thought I had to begin with!

The nitrous was a little more forgiving, actually. Just make sure you get the right jet sizes so you're not too rich or lean and tweak it from there.

However, I am now going to do a complete H/C/I over the winter. That's gonna F everything up and that's gonna be a pain to tune..especialyl because of the cam [&:]
