i've heard trick flow's head quality is bad. a very knowledgeable person who builds funny cars said the water jackets are too thin, but he doesn't know how they're made these days. a 'b' cam sounds like a good idea for keeping good low torque, but i'm afraid of changing the cam because i don't know it's affect on driveability. i have heard good things about trick flow's intake manifold. i heard that it prevents front cylinder air starvation, does the cobra intake manifold do the same? i'd rather not use nitrous. i prefer to have horsepower with no tricks. i was thinking of changing the 1.6 rocker arms to 1.7. i'm not sure how much difference that would make, and how it would work with a stock, or b, cam.
