Default h, c , or i?

ok, if you had to go w. only one of the 3 which would it be?<which would give you the most performance alone? (yes i no that they work best as all 3, but im not asking that)

well if i had to pick 1, i'd go with heads... but like you said yourself... they're pointless to upgrade unless done together.

pointless? ima have to dissagree w. that... youll get a gain outa em... but which would give the biggest... i assume its either heads or intake, but idk.... tho i agree they have more potential together, separate youll still see improvement...

heads by far have the most power gain alone.. but are also crazy more expensive than the other... save and get all 3 at the same time..trust me

HEADS !!!!

the stock intake will support 300 hp , and you can do 1.7 rollers to get a little extra lift.

no reason at all not to do just the heads, you'll get a big gain
