My cooling system is being pressurized so I'm popping the heads off to check them out. While they are off I figured this would be a good time to freshen up a few things. Here are the current mods....Kirban upgraded fuel pump, adjustable FPR, 30lb. injectors, TA 34 from PTE, 87 coil, elec. fan, 4 core rad, new water pump, cold air kit, 160 thermo, ATR dp, and 3"cutout/test pipe, boost and knock gauges. Mods in the near future will include an 87 ECM setup, turbomotion IC kit, full ATR header set, and ported heads in that order.
Here are my questions...
1) What cam would be suitable for the current mods?
2) What valvesprings should I use?
3) Should I use a double roller timing chain or just a stock replacement?
4) I am replacing the lifters, should I get new pushrods as well?
5) Any pointers on porting the stock intake manifold? It would be pointless to buy a ported one now before I step up to the IC intake, so any pointers or trouble spots from personal experience?
6) What about porting the stock headers? And where should I look for cracks/leaks? Any welding tips?
7) How the heck do you get the turbo to intake bell off? I need to switch it over from the stock turbo and the thing won't budge.
If you feel I've overlooked anything, please bring it to my attention. Thanks for your input gentlemen, it's greatly appreciated.
