Thoughts on this build? Of course supporting pieces such a springs, pushrods, timing chain will be replaced accordingly.
Not sure why Steeda would recommend 1.7's as the "stock heads" or even gt 40's don't flow any better above a .500 lift. You could probably find a "b" cam cheaper than the Steeda. The pro-products intake will flow better than the cobra, but if you already have the cobra - roll with it. Any of these parts are gonna be within a couple/few hp of eachother, so unless you're trying to get every bit out of it I would just go with what my budget allowed. Just my .02... Also, don't forget new lifters. Feel free to yell at me if I'm wrong!
