I have been on the verge of switching over to carb for the past few weeks now, due to the low cost involved in getting my car to run in the low/mid 12's compared to getting the tpi to run that. I am reconsidering and here's why:

It looks as though Skulte Performance can port everything (plenum, base, & runners), modify maf, and port to get a 52mm tb within my budget. On top of that, I figured I would do the ram air thing too. He claims to getting about 2/10ths from each thing here: (ie porting and 52mm tb) and whoever wrote the ram air article says it's good for about 2/10ths also. Can I assume that if I do all of this, I could see collectively 6/10th's? How much further up will it rev? I want to get a bigger cam, as well as other heads later on, but don't know what would be best. (The reason I say this is because I think I can cover my cost partially by selling the heads I have now). Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

I am swapping to TPI! I don't like my carb set-up at all. I have been doing a lot of research on TPI and it seems good to me 12's shouldn't be that hard
