Default RE: Lets see those engine compartments

Well I did the intake and the 1.7 Roller rockers from crane at the same time. The car runs a lot smoother, and has a deeper tone to it.

I really can't say I feel much of a power gain, but can only tell with a trip to the track, which I haven't done yet. To really get the power out of the intake, I need a bigger MAF and TB which will be coming in in the next week. 75MM Pro-M MAF and a 65-70MM TB.. Of course to get the peak performance out of all of that I will need the new heads, but that won't be until September.

Ill get pics asap.

Well thanks, yeah it is hard to believe just a few months ago it was completely stock, it goes by so fast, and with this new job I have I can do the things I want to to it, so it is nice.

I am going with the AFR 165cc heads to get the most for the money. I have heard that people dont recommend the pedestal mount rockers with the aftermarket heads, so I am assuming I will need to get new rockers again?? Does anyone have any feedback on this, is there a way to convert my pedestal mount rockers to stud mount??

Thanks again for the comments..
