What would a set of champion irons do?

[chadly]

I’m thinking about doing some improvements to the car early this spring. With my current set up and making no other changes, does it make sense to put on a set irons? What kind of gains could I expect?

Thanks
Chad

Yes! Good addition to ANY turbo Regal. It will give BIG gains in mid range power, and top end power, too. You will NOT be dissappointed. install a roller cam in it while you are at it. Have them port your intake, too.

If you are replacing heads I would strongly recommend a good aluminum head.
They are lighter, flow better and disapate heat better and will put you in a better position for future upgrades.

If I chose to leave the cam stock (100k) alone and just do the heads and intake, would it still make sense?

Chances are you probably have a lobe or two going flat. If your on a tight budget, you could probably put in another flat tappet cam. You just need to use the right oil for it.

Go with a set of heads from Russ! Work is great and he is a good TR guy to deal with.

35 HP. You must have the ports in the intake matched to the ports in the heads. The ports on the intake are a bigger restriction than the heads.

What head gaskets should be used,is there such a thing on not having to re-torque heads after start up?
