???Motor down???

Lebedin8654 · Dec 19, 2008

Well i blew a head gasket this morning so its time to go to the drawing board. My question is what head gaskets should i use and if i go back with a blower cam like a Trick flow stage 2 or a ABC cam will it help me out/ will i notice a differance thats worth the money? My setup is a S-trim wit a cobra motor, Stock GT40 heads with stock 1.7 roller rockers and a cobra intake, so will my heads flow enough to make the cam worth it?

I would go with either Felpro MLS or Cometic with a boosted car

Pick up a cam, its not going to hurt. why not do a quick gasket match on them while they're off?

I plan on doing some matching and porting while it will apart, what cam is good for boost and tune friendly?
