SEARCH and read the stickies at the top of the forum.


One thing you'll learn quickly is that there is no "best". There are too many variables, including personal preferences and goals.

What gears? Do you have headers?

The magic stick works well with patriot heads from what I've seen posted. But like stated above it's hard to call a certain combo the best unless you are just looking to make as much power as possible and not care too much for drivabilty.
