intake and heads combo

what are a good combo to have for a tbi? i will upgrade the rockers and springs if it needs it. this will be a turbo charged engine so im guessing the compression shouldn't be too much? any help?

A good cheap combo is vortec heads, vortec 4bbl. intake, & a tbi adaptor.

Re: intake and heads combo

if you go with the vortec heads you will have th shave the .030 to keep up compression. plus a different expensive intake. there are better heads to go with that will keep the price down. may not flow as well as the vortec but the price will be lower allowing more mods. someone will chime in soon with numbers.

Re: intake and heads combo

found the website not sure whether to get a "Upgraded Vortec, Roller Head kits" (worried about the stamped rockers) or just the "SB Chevrolet Vortec Cylinder Head w/ 0.600 Springs for Roller Cams"(buy my own rockers put my mind at ease). is an edelbrock intake the best route because all the kits come with one?

almost forgot here's the website: http://sdparts.com/category/sdpc-vor...-and-head-kits
