Also, the windsor jr heads leave something to be desired, especially in stock form...are they worked at all? Heads and cam are the key to a top-end car.

The spyder is easy to install and remove, so it would definitely be worth a try...but I would get a cam from Ed Curtis asap.

I know my heads need to be bigger. I bought the complete motor and trans in a running car for 1500. Sold the body and int for a 1000.00. So I basicly only have 250.00 in a DSS 308, X303 cam, Windsor j/r heads and 250 in a T5 trans for my wifes car. lol I basiclly want a car as far as I can get it for what little money I have. (just like everybody else) The heads are one ones I have and don't have money for more and can't afford to get them ported right now. So all I can do now is just swap intakes. I plan on selling my race car and my GT car so I can put more money in this car and then I can go with better heads or port mine. But I agree I need better heads just can't afford them right now.

I had the x cam in my other car and loved it. Since i have changed to the Steeda 19 i hate it. The car dont pull nowhere near as hard. im goin to change it as soon as i find a good cam.

Thats good to know. I have a F303 I thought about putting in here but haven't yet. My old blue coupe had a F303 in it and I loved it but of course I had Edelbrock performers on it with a little 306.
