Default Please help

First I would like to say thanks to the guys who helped wit my coolant leak it turned out to be the 2 hoses that led right into the heater core from the motor that were split.

second I am in a bind here and i would like a little input. There are still a relatively tight emissions laws in pa where i live and so that has now made me rethink my original setup. The original was:
Gt40 heads and a comp cam 280hr-10 cam wit gt40 intake
the new one is
Ported trick flow twisted wedge heads and a b303 cam with a gt40 intake.
Which would make more power in ur opinions and which would u do?

Thanks

i vote for number 1 too. better heads with the b-cam willmake more power then the gt-40's with the comp cam.

now you can sell youre gt-40's to a fellow 4-eye guy.

if you have stick shift you should go w/ the F cam it will pull
all the way to 6

with that B cam you will have to shift at 5100

why do people go w/ the B cam?

auto = E cam
stick = F cam

Neither combo is worth a damn...a quality head with an 20yr old outdated cam, or a mediocre head and mismatched cam. Why not a Trick flow kit?
