Head built since the stock head is warped by .006-.007 again. This is kind of a bummer, even though the car will be picking up another 40Hp roughly the head gasket was done only 19K ago, so I need to determine what caused the gasket to blow and warp the head again (and ruining a head). The car didn't over heat at all this time, just coolant loose with no visible leaks so I yanked it. Sure enough #1 was blown out 2,3, &4 were seeping. Good news is that the pistons look great, no pits nothing. Cylinder walls are also in good shape, the crosshatch marks are still visible and there are no scoring marks etc. I suppose this is good to know since the car is now heavily modified with bolt-ons and has 115K on the clock.
Anyhow, what Id like to find out is, which cams will give the most power: the stock turbo cams, or the 2.1 NA cams? Or a combination of the two??
Thanks a bunch,
