Default new intake and tb ?'s

ok since i was un able to purchase my RHS heads this month ill have to wait a couple more before i can buy them. my plan is to redo the stock springs (which ones by the way? b-303 cam. double...single? link plz!) then port match to the gasket.

im installing with stock ported heads/ new springs, typhoon intake port matched to the eddy spacer and 70mmTB & EGR. will i still see some gains with this setup maybe 240-250rwhp??? or would i still be around the 200-225rwhp? i figured the increased flow is stilllllll going to be bottle necked really bad, is this right?

Well in other words, the only thing you're really doing significantly is changing the intake, and cam with some light port work. You'll see some gains, but not a whole hell of a lot, your stock heads are gonna kill you. I'm banking on you landing around 210 rwhp.

no way.....

i did 209 with a fresh motor full exhaust udp and a fuel pressure regulator. i think it will be around the 220-230 range

The b cam is a descent cam to go with if you dont have heads. It is not too big. You should not feel a decrease in torque.
