I did but they are all mixed, not really a direct answer asfar as power and 1/4 #'s! I also have 3.73's and some bfg drag radials.

Yea ya didn't really ask that in your first post. Go run it and see what it'll do with you driving. Dyno numbers anywhere from 240 to 280 depending on the dyno?

it depends on what you hope it to run, if your goal is low 13's high 12's then it should do that.

Nice...! Thats pretty much my goal. Do you think i can do a small shot of juice and run good with this setup and maybe, just maybe get close to mid 12's?

Power should be in the range of what BB said....

If it was me I would spend the extra cash and upgrade the valve springs and get a set of 1.7 rockers. None the the less it should be a pretty torquey set up. Setting the fuel pressure right at 40psi and timing set at 14* base getting a 60' in the low 1.9-1.8's I see high 12's if you launch hard enough and hit the gears right too. A 75 shot 12.4-12.2 should be obtainable.

Np man but its not bad to change out the springs it you have a vale spring compressor. Other wise unless someone else has any tips to do it without that tool then you'll need to get a shop to do it.

As far as smog legal it should be. I know army302 on here has the tfs stage 2 cam and tfs tw heads and with a set of magnaflow hi flow cats his car passed with flying colors and doesn't have an egr either
