No, it will have more overlap than stock.

overlap is when both the exhasut valve and the intake valve are open at the same time right? i want more of that?

) and i have decided on a laptop.. partialy so i can tune in car Very Happy

is there any low/midrange power setup i can get? i don't like winding my engine out to 5K to make any power. i like my engines powerfull between 1.5 - 4.5.

well, if i go with vortec heads i would need a new base in order to keep my TPI. thats why i am looking at alternative intakes. that TPI base is 300+ allready. might as well spend the extra dough to get a better intake.

carb

i like my fuel injection thanks. i can mod the shizzle out of it and remain emissions legal. also i am scared of carbs. one of my mopar buddies was telling me how lucky i am to be injected "my carb has over 100 phisical settings i can screw up"- i think he was exagerating, but still...

i know mike has TPIS miniram, and paul has Holley Stealth Ram. do they both move the power band alot higher? i like low end tourqe. alot. (by that i mean both "i love alot of low and tourque", and "i love low end tourque alot") Very Happy

hmm.. carb.. should i ?

If you really want the torque then stay TPI and spend twice, if not three times as much making it flow less. Smile

.... well, i guess icould get used to a high reving engine! 3X as much.. screw that.

Fuel injection is cool, but I guess to me there's more sensors and relays and more electrical to fail or go wrong on me or be run incorrectly. That's why I prefer the almighty carburator. To me a carb is simple, and simple is good.

More lowend torque..........put shorter legs under it. You'll get all kinds of torque.......4:10's........would be a tire smoker. Probably the cheapest way to go. Will need to have the speed sensor programed so the digital speedo reads correctly......at least that's what I was told.

yes, that would work.

NO no no. He will have everything he needs, plus a spare set of wheels, plus parts for his other car. Then he will descide it is too cold to work on the car.

and his valve seals would still be leaking
