My car did somethignsimilar, but I never even got to 150, hell, i was at a 45 mph roll, and arounf 75 or so in 3rd it stumbled.... i thought it was a bump in teh road or soemthign so I shifter up to 4th and stayed in it.... I happen to look in the rear view, and it looked like a spy hunter smoke screen all blue and ****. I laugh about it now as I plan the new motor, but when it happened I was like ****... I hope this thing will make it home LOL.

I made my choice guys....

It was a tough call between AFR's and the Edelbrocks.

The winner is.












AFR's!!!




I've always wanted them, and I think I would be dissapointed otherwise.

getting them milled .024.

Can't wait for next month when they go on

Thanks for all the help and ideas.

Nice choice! You going with the 205's or the 225s? Definitely get them milled a little. I kind of regret not doing it now, was in too much of a hurry to get them on and get the car running again, so untouched the CR is only ~10.3:1. Maybe I'll yank them off next winter and get them cut a hair.

Congrats on your choice. It's a great head.

But I wish someone would try the Trickflow heads and let us know....

They look good on paper.
