You basically said that if its a DD don't go HCI. I assumed you mean it was bad for some driveability reason.I'm now guessing you were saying don't go HCI because of the time involved vs a SC?

Also a its usually a good idea to include some reasons as to why you would think that, this way no one HAS to assume what you mean.

if it is his only car then i would do the s/c, just my opinion... sure an h/c/i will be perfectly fine

reasons bein---

install time
skill required to install
differance in mpg(not alot, but if its ur only car it may be a concideration)

Not saying dont go with trickflow, just dont use the twisted wedge heads. See if theyll sell you the kit with the Highport heads instead. Theyre MUCH better. Better than AFR 185's.
