Default I just want to confirm (top end, yet again people)

This is a good setup, i found the intake on ebay for more than 100 less than on 50resto, and if i get the good to go right now, im gonna buy it



Edelbrock Performer 5.0 (the one that looks like a stock intake, with a removable plenum cover, normally 550, Ebay Buy it now for 419)

Crane Cams Emissions cam, 200-5500 RPM range http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku (note, someone said its to be used with 1.7 rocker arms, but it specifys .513 lift with factory [1.6] rocker arms, so)


AFR 165s Stud mount, etc yadda yadda

if you read the add it says advertised lift is with factory rocker ratio=1.6..so no you don't need 1.7's but if you want to use them go ahead as to whether it'll make a difference ...only a dyno would confirm that or raise in et
