Default Swapping from Hooker 1 7/8 to ARH 1 7/8 LTS

Has anyone done the swap in the the title? I've search but mostly found ARH VS Kooks.

I'm cam only currently. Have a Circle D 2E stall.

On the fence about porting my 243s, Fast 92, swapping out my F13 cam. ORY with a Burns 3" into 4" merge with a 4" cutout reduced back down to a 3" through a Dual/Dual CB.

Or Hooker vs TSP

You already have 1 7/8s. It wont be worth the cost to swap to another 1 7/8s lol

The ported 243's would give some nice power, along with the fast 92 but why change the cam? I may be a little biased lol but the f13 is still a great cam that makes awesome power for its size. I cant see you gaining much without going to a much bigger cam which Im sure you know has its own sacrifices

Yea, I already sold it so no real choice to keep it lol. My car is light tho so whatever I get it should run well. Might just buy a cam and do stock 243s as I eventually want to go with a Huron kit.

My car has been down for a while I want to make sure I don't leave power on the table since I was unhappy with my last build. Thanks for the responses they're inline with what I was thinking.
