Re: HELP! I'm having second thoughts on current set up.

Yea the more I think about it the more I think I'll regret swapping drive trains.

Think I'm leave the six as is for now but some future upgrades I can see.

Thanks everyone for chiming in.

Now, what upgrades should I do first. Talked to Tom Lowe today. He recommended start with intake, 390 cfm carb and stove bolts cast iron headers. Said it should make about 25hp/30-35tq more power. Said next would be head with lump ports and milled to a 70cc chamber which would add another 25-30.

Said if I wasn't happy after that it would be a cam swap but the other items would still be required. And that may push 250hp/300tq.
