[QUOTE="jamesd, post: 1549804, member: 31135"] Hey guys! So, I am planning to wake up the engine a little as it's kinda slow stock. But, it's a DD and I just wanna keep it simple (for now). I've done a ton of research and would love to hear your thoughts on what I'm doing wrong or could do differently as I want to do my best to do it once and just enjoy it. 1994 Vert, 5 speed. Currently stock engine. The plan -keep the stock bottom end -SVE 170cc aluminum heads -1.7 roller rockers (does that mean I can keep the stock valve covers?) -double roller timing chain? -keep the stock cam as I've read it's not bad? -can I keep the stock pushrods and lifters or do I need to replace those? -ported GT40 intake (from a 1996 explorer) -stock 65mm TB or should I get a 70mm? -stock MAF or should I go to 24lb injectors and upgrade the maf too? -shorty headers -currently has h pipe and muffler delete -CAI -after all this I do need a tune correct? Or because I'm keeping the stock cam I wouldn't? Like I said I just want a little more power, nothing too crazy. Is this a good plan or should I not and just go BIG later on? Thank you for your help!!! [/QUOTE]
