Default HEAD ASSEMBLY

WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD SETUP FOR GT40P HEADS. 1.7 OR 16. CAN I USE ROLLER ROCKERS. AND WHAT CAM WOULD BE GOOD WITH 1.7 ON THE GT40PS. I PLAN ON REPLACING THE SPRINGS WITH TRICKFLOW AND WAS THINKING 1.7 WITH TRICKFLOW STAGE ONE AND COBRA INTAKE ON TOP.

Yes you can use rollers. Just be careful if you go with the 1.7's and the cam. If you are running a stock bottom end with stock pistons you may run into piston/valve clearance issues. Valves will not whack your pistons with the 1.6 RR's.
