TODAY HAS ITS OWN PROBLEMS,TOMARROW IS A BRAND NEW DAY,YOU THINK IVE BUILT MY STREETCAR AT DRIVE THROUGH RACE ENGINES? IT TOOK ME YEARS JUST TO PAY FOR MY HEADS[BIGCHIEF's]NOT TO MENTION THE REST OF IT, ALL IM SAYING IS IT ALL STARTED W/I WOULD LIKE A LITTLE MORE PEP IN MY VETTE,
I WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD SOMBODY TELL ME WHAT I REALLY WANTED WAS WHAT IVE GOT NOW INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SOAK ME FOR MY MONEY W/REDOES AND COMEBACKS, IM JUST SIMPLY SUGGESTING THAT THE MAN JUST EXAMINS HIS OWN HEART/MIND SO HE CAN SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG RUN.

you can get monstrous power and speed out of a mild motor.... take my mustang for instance, i re-ringed an old real shelby k-code 289 which is ~270hp with nothing extra but a new carb, an HEI distributor and headers but i'm throwing a t56 in there and 4.56 gears..... with that combo i will have nice acceleration and in 6th gear i'll be at 1500RPMs going 95mph.... thats a daily driver combo right there..... i'm even considering upgrading to a custom SFI so i can have even better fuel economy and even better throttle response.... thats practical.... 800HP on the street is not practical, you're gonna spend a ton of money on something that wont drive worth crap unless you plan on getting arrested for reckless endangerment all the time... been there done that....



now to answering the question before there was all this stupid flamming
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...8&autoview=sku $1565 and
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...9&autoview=sku
$1649
either one of those will work and you will still need a carb the $1649 one uses a roller cam and does not come with lifters so that you will have to buy along with roller rockers... either one will pep up your motor pretty nicely
