97 heads on a 93 and other ?'s
Heads and Cam Questions
WIll 97 aluminum stock heads fit on a 93. I obviously will be porting these and polishing them.. I am stupid when it comes to this subject. I have a few questions. If you can answer these and if as many people can chime in here as possible id appreciate it.
I want to know a few things
Here is what I want. I want to put a medium sized somewhat lobey cam so I can make myself happy by hearing my car when I start it, and sit at a light. I want to put something like a 224/230 cam or gm847.. I think they are the same. Is that too much, and I want to have the maximum ported heads and still have descent gas mileage and run low 12's and maybe 11's with a 2800 stall. I have a 93 transam with an A4, and 3.23 gears, I dont want to change the gears so I can still go on trips. I might want to spray one day, but that is not important right now.
1. If I am going to a local machine shop, what do I tell them I want done with my heads
2. What valves and what size, and angle..... I really dont know much about this part...
3. I most likely will go with pcmforless, or madz28 programing afterwards.
4. I will be sticking with stock torque converter for a while so I would want to know what will happen driving this around town
5. I will be doing headers too at the same time, soooooo what kind of header.. I was thinking jethot longtubes.
6. LAST QUESTION I PROMISE... What do you think my times will be with what you describe?
Thanks a million... whoever replies to this seriously has a chance to shape the car that I drive for the next few years.... Thanks again. And I will be doing this within the next 2 months.
