If you have or are planning some other supporting mods. The stock throttle opening will hurt you eventually.

the 706 heads have shitty intake runners and intake valves in stock form, maybe if you port them, you won't see the negative effects of putting that intake on them. It's too big for stock 706 heads..

Just do it. If for some reason you do lose any power just swap the stock stuff back on.

Wow you haven't done this yet?? Man your as bad as i am about getting my headers installed.

I would Install it already. If all this talk about heads are stopping you you can pick up nice
243/799 cheap!

I thought you said you already installed the newer heads.

LOL I know! Its been sitting in my apartment starring at me!

I probably will do the swap, just they guy who posted earlier said I could loose power from it. So a little reassuring words before I do it from some other members would be lovely.

I havent or haddnet planned on swapping any heads at all. Should I since Im swapping the TBSS in anyways?

OH for the record I need a new motor anyways. Mine is pretty much blowed. One cylinder is gone to ****. Now it smokes like a ****! So If i did do heads and the swap its probably going to wait till I either swap in a new motor or rebuild this one.
