their not in the same league - you cant even port a stock set of E7's to flow what a box stock set of AFR's flow

md, i took your and jdaniel's advise and just stuck the ac pump to the side. i hope to have it running monday (tomorrow) but if not, i wont be able to work on it tuesday (in school for 9 hours) so i will get it running wednesday. wednesday is payday so i wouldnt mind sense i need new o2's. in the morning the car smell like its running rich, the check engine light flickers randomly, and from 800-1100 rpms the engine bogs like its flooded. if put around 6k miles on the car sense i got it, have no idea how long theyve been on there but they look bad. once it warms up, engine is fine at all rpms, no rich smell and no check engine light so im hoping the sensors fix it.

on a side note, what oil should i use 10w-30 or 40?

if ya live in a normal winter climate i would go wtih the 10w30 and motor looking good why did'nt you paint it a little since you have it tore down

lookin good. good luck on gettin her running right. and i agree w/ MD.....you cant even work over a set of E7TE heads to flow WITH the AFR's, much less flow better. AFR's are one of THE BEST aftermarket heads on the market, but, ima go with a Trickflow top end(heads, cam, manifold, etc)

hmm, i never thought of paint...oh well. to late for that.

it's never to late....like said before there is NO comparison..30+ hp and about 25-40 pounds off the front

luckythirteen13

you think ill only get 30 extra hp?

I hear ANYTHING is better than the stock LX heads.

vfast

that was just a guessamation...heads is where the power is
