I have Thumper Ported e7te heads with stock valve size and upgraded springs. I plan to go ahead and reuse these heads. I am building this for daily driver in my vert and ocassional track use. I went with forged so I can add a Nitrous kit for the track. My currant motor is the thumper heads stock bottom end comp cams nx264hr cam 512 lift 212/218 @ .050 with 1.7 roller rockers its .544 lift. I have cobra intake and 65 mm TB 24# injs and pro m maf calib for 24#.

I plan to reuse all of these items with one exception. I am considering a differnt cam Because I really want a rowdy idel, but I want performace and the cam I have is actually pretty good match to my heads and intake but idle is rather tame. I was considering the E cam but I am certian there are better ones out there, Keep in mind my car is HEAVY 3600 # or so full weight. I thought about having a custom cam made to maximize power. I am open for suggestions.
