Deciding on replacement intake (318, details in post)

the 4 gear cog box and 3.91's are about what i would consider the limit for a regularly street driven car so you're doing good there.

you just need to understand that it's going to have a narrow peaky power band is all.

you can get some compression by swapping heads and running a thinner headgasket, but those are kind of band-aids. the best solution is pistons and machine work. which means really, you should probably just get a 360.
360? Stop that :poke::D id really like to wring as much as I can from the stoutest 318 I can build - peaky is fine. It’s a fun car, I have sensible daily drivers.

Pistons, machine work, rebuilding heads…I’m good with that
