I think I may have a blown head gasket. If I do, I will have to pull the head to replace but it isn't that simple for addicts like me, modifications must take place or I will have withdraws. (shake, foam at the mouth, convultions) So I have some ideas:
HEADS: I love the Thumpers, although AFR 165's would probally be worth cheating on them, the money tree has few branches. I have the valve spring upgrade already, but I was thinking of sending them to Thumper again for a GT40 valve upgrade, 1.84 intake valves and the ports matched to the new valve. I already discussed this with Thumper, he's concerned I might loose a little bottom end for some top end, but that doesn't bother me.
CAM: The B cam on 1.7's is alright, I wasn't that happy with the thing when I put it in over stock on 1.7's, lost a lot of bottom end and drivability for a some 4K up gains. I am thinking of either advancing it from 2* to 4* or getting a Comp Cam or a FTI cam. I am leaning towards the FTI cam heavily.
INTAKE: I have the Edelbrock Performer but I would like to do a Performer RPM upper upgrade. Either that or use the current intake upper and port it or have it extrude honed or maby just leave the intake alone.
So what do you all think???
