Most bang for the buck?
 
Have a stock 302 in a Daytona Coupe replica. Just sitting aroung considering nest years projects. The question is what would I get the most performance increase for the money speny? And what, if anything, vcan I do with the engine in?: Heds, cam, manifold, car, super charger, NOS?

Opinions appreciated.

New heads, cam, change the manifold/carburation to a Weber set-up or Weber lookalike FI if you like FI.

:D JMO

super charger,NOS, cam; all a waste with out better heads;so start with a set of AFR's and build from there. chuck

Will good alum heads alone give me good hp?

I have 4 significant performance car projects that I am presently working on ($$$) and just got this Daytona Replica.

It seems real fast at first, but as always I want more. HAve to do this on a budget. Have spent a lot (too much) already on the other projects including a completely built 306 with cam. alum heads, carb, manifold, machine work etc.

The key for the Daytona is Bang-for-the-buck cb

Spend the money on a new keyboard :D

This is a bit of a joke as I have made fun of Chipper for his bad spelling. He uses a remote keyboard that sometimes is not 100% in it's translating keystrokes. If it was me, I would admiy tu thu baD TYPing.

TC-I have a brand new laptop with all the "good stuff" on it but th LT does not allow me to sit in my big chair and see it on a big screen (36") across the room!

Try switching the keys around on your key board. They pop out very easily. Your words, then, just might be spelled correctly. LOL
GC. Oh, by the way aluminum is great but be sure you get the right set up for the engine. I've had good luck with Comp Cams. Give them a call tell them what you have and they will custom grind a cam for you. try some Victor Jr. Part # 60259 along with a RPM manifold

Have a new keyboard-it is an infra red and if I move around it breaks contact and I don't know it and continue to
type. PLUS I am a high school typing drop out! AND spelling challenged. TC just enjoys ragging on me anyway. cb

Chipper:
It's not your fault. Not only I but a lot of people I know have to fight the same problem. It's the stupid (%^%%^%^&((&*^% computer. I type in the correct words but what I type doesn't always appear on the screen.;-)

Yeah-that's the ticket! The COMPUTER is dumb, not me!

Well, had set aside today to get the BB roadster running-and IMMED found a defective NEW battery I had put in it a few months ago. Fired right up with the bat from the coupe!

Off to Auto Zone to see if they will exchange it without hassle.

55 degrees here, sunny and no honey-dew list around: ROAD TRIP!

Life is good! chip in Atlanta

ps" I might not be able to type or spell, BUT I am off work today!
