 Mods What's the best bang for the buck? Some say do exhaust then carb.. Then I've seen exhaust then heads..
What's the better combo to do when getting started?

Re: Mods I've done just carb & exhaust with decent gains. I plan to try just cam, heads & exhaust next to compare the difference.

Re: Mods Exhaust is baseline for any further mods. Heads ensure you have a good seat on your valves, takes that out of the equation and is the best gain/$ IMO, you want more then go with the carb next.

Re: Mods I did Exhaust, Carb and then heads and I seen the biggest gain after I did the heads. If I did it again I would do heads before a carb. I think the Cam and Heads gave me the biggest gain in total but if your looking to stay away from going internal then I would do exhaust and heads first

Re: Mods My rusty stock exhaust forced me to make that change first, although that was my plan. I then made a visit to Calen for the heads. I am very impressed with the difference that the heads made. My next mod will probably be a cam later this summer. I may just stay stock with the carb.

Re: Mods I have headwork, Hoyt cam, and exhaust. I set my Governor to 4350 and drive my boat. It works well.

Re: Mods What's the 'average' cost to get heads done?

Re: Mods ^^It depends how your going to do it, If you take your heads to a reputable engine shop and have them do all the work its probally going to save you a couple hundred bucks, The guy here does it for 230
