Do I run a hyd. Flat tappet or a SFT?

Awesome right in line with what I was thinking over the weekend, must be on the right track. Smile thank for the help

What cam do you suggest I run with? I was thinking running a Weiand stealth intake and a Holley...thoughts? I had read that the Edlebrocks were hard to tune correctly...

NOT a good choice in my opinion for an engine which will spend most of its time at Part Throttles and not WOT.  The area inside that intake manifold is cavernous and is slow to react for good throttle transient opperation although it will make good power at Wide Open Throttle.

I would suggest a Torquer II for the most power but, an "Air Gap' for best average power at all throttle openings.

As far as camshaft ... a good, well matched hydraulic will get the job done however, other things come into play needing compromises such as Power Brake vacuum needed and such. Something custom would be best.

Ok I'll check into a cam then and see what intake suits it best..
How about Holley 850? Double pumper? Vacuum or mechanical?

Every time I read through the forums here I come up with more questions...

On my heads...C9VE-A's
What size intake/exhaust valves?
Planning on bronze valve guides & hardened seats
5 angle valve job
Milled (if needed)
Should I pay to have them ported or can I do this myself? I hear the exhaust floors are thin :/
Are there any secrets to making these heads flow better?

What I meant on the valve question was....what size should I increase to?

You can get to the power level you want by doing a good bowl blend, open your bowl up to the bottom diameter cut of your valve job all the way down to the bottom of the bowl.

Smooth the short side and leave the shape the same do not remove any material other than what it takes to smooth it out.
