Camel hump heads are OLD technology. Get some vortecs or World heads or somthing similar. I think camel humps barley flow 200 CFM on the intake. They also have poor designed combustion chambers.

Ya but i am getting them for free i am a student and dont have a lot of money i have 190s on my truck now so the camel humps are 202 do u this the stuff i listed is a good combo

soo i did some searching on that carb and its not smogable in ca i need a good carb that i can smog anyone know of one

[tokymon]

camel back's = high rpm heads
get a set of vortec heads or aftermaket based on vortecs
they flow better in the usable rpm range or street
free 40 hp

[chevy_addicted]

they will be better that what you had,but vortecs would better suit you

[Rmenian93]

Well i cant do the camel hump heads becuase it takes a lot of brackets for power steering pump and i think i am just going to do a new intake and carb does anyone know of some smog and emissions intakes and carbs and a new dress up kit and do a good cleaning what do you guys think will it be worth it and how much extra hp will i get and also a 1" carb spacer ...

You could go with a sleeper cam, wide LSA with higher durations. If you keep the LSA nice and wide you can run higher durations. It'll take away a little bit of midrange compression but I doubt the emissions will be effected.

[Rmenian93]

whats LSA and i think the cam will make my emissions not pass what do u think if i do the intake and carb does anyone know of emissions carb and intakes plzzz help

[GreaseDog]

what year of truck are we dealing with here? that will play a major part in what carb you can use.

[2500ak]

whats LSA


Lobe separation angle, it was just a thought.

[Rmenian93]
