What are you modding plans for the new year?

AFR 185 Heads, E-cam, 1.6 roller rockers, trick flow intakes, UDP, A/C & Smog deletes, Long tube headers, O/R X-pipe, 4.10 gears, C&L setup, 70mm throttle body, 150 shot, MSD Dizzy, 6AL box, 130amp alternator, shift kit, SCT chip, and start workin on suspension. this is all i can think of right now. now i remember. 24lb injectors,FPR,255 fuel pump.
something tells me that you havent researched your setup very well...

get 165's instead of the 185's... you can thank me later for the hp you will gain
maybe you could tell me why. i was told to go with the 185??? could you tell me what sized of roller rockers i would need or will the 1.6 be ok?

your not running any kind of boost, raised compression, nitrous, OR aggressive cam. I think your going to lose potential HP with those heads. a165cc head will still flow MORE than enough for your setup and your intake velocities will still be high, so you wont lose anything. If you do plan on sticking with an E cam... get 1.7 rockers, it will increase your lift and slightly increase your duration!
