ported 243 heads

78mm TB

W4M tune

exhaust - stock manifolds & cats, magnaflow xpipe and 6" race bullets

About 375rwhp but headers and a slightly bigger cam would get you close to 400rwhp

that's not bad. thanks.

i would like to get some kooks, but id have to figure a set-up where i could easily swap them every other year for smog checks. which is another reason i dont have a more aggressive cam.

would i be better off having my heads worked, or buying some aftermarkets?

thanks guys,
Jeremy

get the TR227/224 and headers... youll feel better about the money spent... I drove mine from SC to Atlanta all the time. and it was my main Daily driver. I had friends with the hotcam and LTs. One now runs the TR230/224.

only with a little cash on the side and the RIGHT smog tech would you pass. SC doesnt have the smog tests.
Now I understand your choice.
