Opinions on this combo

skiwesser · 10-02-2005, 06:22 PM

Any opinions at all before I spend $1300 on the pedestal mount AFR 165's.

Will this cam and rocker choice be streetable, I'm afraid of the lift vs. dur since the cam is designed for a 1.6 R arm.
I could'nt tell much of a diffrence when I got the 1.7's with stock cam & heads but I am thinking that may be a diffrent story now.

I need help as I don't want to put together a mis-matched combo, although I've done some homework so I think I got a good street motor figured??

Ski, IMHO there is NO place on a performance engine for pedistal rockers. Spend the cash now, but the studs, guide plates, stud mount rockers, and go for broke now. Throw the ped's on ebay, some "kid" will snag the 1.7's up.

One of my favorite saying in this "business":

"Do it RIGHT, or do it AGAIN!"
