Blower or new heads??
Word up from down under,
once I fly back home from my prolonged vacation in Australia I'm going to either slap on a B&M 144 blower, or upgrade the heads, sticking with iron, and going with either darts or the pro actions.
I'm wondering about the havoc the blower would cause, with the weak 10bolt rear, and the even weaker T-5 tranny. All that low end torque would surely blow up something, where a better flowing set of heads would just increase the usable rpm range a bit, making better top end power.
Which route would you guys take? Mods in the sig...
Thanks!

The 882 smog heads that you have are some of the best smog heads. I would keep them for now and add a blower. It will be a good setup because with those 76cc chamber 882's you have about 8.5:1 compression, perfect for a blower!
