what next?

[fiveohpatrol]

an intake will help a little bit on a stock head/cammed engine, but not enough to justify the $400+

i'd first tell him to get rid of the 2 1/4" catback and step up to a 2.5"

what about some 1.7RR's along with some new valve springs (depending on his mileage)
i've heard the 1.7 rockers wont help and can actually hurt if you have worn/ old springs, which I do and that probably explains why i saw no gain when i put them on

if he's on a budget tell him to get some GT40P heads ($99 bare each), port them a little and your ready to go, he'll also need a P specific header for these though because of spark plug angle i think?

THEN he can get the intake and a cam

many people have gotten great power out of the P heads, mid 12's is farily easily obtainable with them
good luck
