Components rpm ranges are based on?
"Biggest cam" based on?

Think about this real possibility.... a huge cylinder head (based on typical intake volume values) and a mild cam (depending on what characteristic you use to ID cam aggressiveness) setup, allowing you to use A/C, P/S, P/B, etc..... 18-22 MPG and capable of running 11's in the 1/4 mile all day if required.

Rpm ranges are based on flow numbers provided directly from the manufacturer. "Biggest cam" in terms of most duration and lift while having the power band closely matching the rpm ranges. A/C and Smog have been deleted and I'm running an electric water pump and fans. MPG isn't of the matter, I could care less, I just wanted a reliable turn key street car that I could go and have fun with. I set myself a goal of 12.5 that's all I want, nothing more nothing less. And I'm just second guessing myself on my first selection of heads... So once again... back to the original topic..

Anybody else?

I'll say it again an I'm not backing down on it...AFR 185'S , TW 170CC or fast as cast TFS

cch

Alright, thank you.

Anybody ever see some 185's used for sale lemme Know!
Don't feel like going stud mount...

mjr46

why not stud mount??? I have a set of eddy rpm 1.90/1.60's with 1.6 scorpion rockers and they are stud mount...first 850.00 takes it all...that is if you still want something comparable to afr 165's

cch

Cause then I'd have to replace my lifters/pushrods again would I not, plus buy studs. And I'll use 1.7rr's considering it's what my cam calls for. On top, if I'm gonna spend the money might as well hold off and get the best right? AFR > Eddy

mjr46

the studs come on the heads, my afr's had them, so do the eddys, as well as trick flow

cch

so really it's just lifters and pushrods then... hmm you got me thinking... damnit i hate this car..
