I know trickflow makes heads with 2.02 in. intake valves that DONT require flycut pistons and are O'ringed which is whay im lookin for cuz of my s/c....but is 2.02 too big for the stock 302 with forced induction? would i be loosing alot of bottom end power? or should i stick with edelbrocks o'ringed 1.9in intake valves?...im just not sure. Thanks for any help, david

3499 for the whole kit (+$100 flat rate shipping)....so with the 2.02 i wont loose any power down low? (i realize im going to gain power everywhere if comparing the 2.02 to the stock heads but im comparing them to the 1.9in.)

the KB produces all boost within 2k rpms so no, no loss of power down low
