I'm a mechanic and saw too many friends do something stupid and crash cars or wrap them around a telephone pole. avanti-176, you nailed it right on the head. I would never race in any unsafe condition. What I really ment to say is street riding. I only raced maybe 2 times against some rice burners. Yeah, I should have rephrased that to street cruising. Lastly, should I change the ocker arms or pushrods while I'm at it? The Edelbrock I have now isn't bad, but I'd like better. Speaking of intakes.what would be the best? After all, heads and a new cam needs better breathing. Any that cheap with performance improvements? I was looking at Edelbrock heads, but they are 540 a piece. So a 250 dollar cam and 250 dollar intake only leaves me with 700 or so. My wife doesn't want me spending more than 1200 for all this. It also has to work well with stock heads. I also have Klotz fuel additive in it now. I need something with a high redline, and good low end power, that doesn't slack off too much at higher RPMS. No worries about emissions or smog testing. Right now it has the roller cam stock with Mustangs. We plan on doing drag racing, but mostly street cruising (i.e about 70% of the time). So, I got some questions.įirst, what would be th best cam for it. This winter, I want me and my son to work on it more, get some more HP. As of now, it has a Holly 650 CFM 4-barrel carb and Edelbrock intake.
