They are only a 100 more than a set of new stock heads. From what I've read those heads with the stock size valves are the best choice for the most power on my set up.

I'm probably going to run the pertronix ignitor 3 009 clone. I need a new exhaust that flows well and I won't smash on the ground if any one knows something that fits those parameters let me know.

Yup, can't go wrong with a Sidewinder. Good power, good sound, and good ground clearance.

I'd go with 1:25 rockers instead of stock .. I have a C25 very close to a 100 and run 1:25 on single HD springs.. Of course I'd like to have some changes like straigtcuts and dual springs.. but in general the lift is great for torque. and I have some 70k miles on my motor..

that motor would even love 40 IDFs ...

From what I hear KAD's are better than ICT's by far when choosing between the two.. but I don't play with them a ton to know if that is fact.. persay..

pertronix ignitor 3 009 clone

check it out pretty well when you get it. I've sent 2 back that were junk, wobbly drives. The 3rd one I had to pull the electronics out and trim some things, they way they mount everything keeps it from actually advancing. They will work but not straight out of the box

Personally, I'd buy an original 010

I was going with the 1.1:1 lifters mainly for ease of assembly.

I think Aircooled.net sells PRs that are the right length for stock width motors with 1.25 rockers. Is that your concern, having to make custom length PRs?

If you get the PRs pre-made for 1.25s it will go together just like with stock 1.1s and stock PRs.
