Default My engine plan.....

Ok I am building a 347 stroker. It is going to have a kit from CoastHigh with all forged internals. I have GT40p heads and some bbk headers. I am getting a trick flow street heat intake and a trick flow stage 1 cam tb/maf ect. This is going to be a daily driver and once in a while see the track. What do you guys think of this combo? Keep in mind that I am a Jr. in High school and am on a tight budget. Is this combo going to work well?

This combination will work well. Its a 347; how couldnt it Just make sure that you match up your h/c/i and also... I guess go with the GT-40's but they are still going to be restricting that motor. But YES they will do fine and it will haul a$$. Is that what you wanted to hear ???

that is a nice setup I would get the heads worked over with a 5 angle valve job, open the exhaust ports and put in bigger valves on the intake and the exhaust. 1.9's on the intake and 1.6's on the exhaust

Yeah do something with the heads and if you do end up saving enough get some new heads. The Twisted wedge would work perfect and I bet you wouldnt regret it, they are lightere and flow much better with the set up you got going.

airflow will make all the difference in performance, go with heads that have 2.20/1.60 valves.

Yea, but hes on a budget. I mean; if you can save up than absolutly dont waste your time on the stockers but if not they will work for now.
