I'm looking at doing heads and a cam for the TBI 350 in my Jeep. It's all stock (out of a 93 1500) except for some shorty headers. I've got it backed by a 700R4 and some 4.10's. What am I looking to accomplish? I'd like some more low-end and mid-range pep for going from stop light to stop light, eventually some bigger tires (35's) and I tow my boat occasionally ~15 miles round trip to and from the ramp. I'd also like to shed a few pounds up front to help compensate for the bumper and winch. It's not a daily driver so mileage isn't really of any concern to me. A nice throaty lope to go with the Flowmaster would be nice too.
After looking, Ive narrowed it down to these heads and cam. I'm hoping they will work well together. I don't have a HP number I'm trying to achieve. It's already a blast to drive but something around 300hp/350tq would be nice. these heads http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tf...0007/overview/

I'd really like 175cc intake runners but the only ones Trick Flow makes with 2.02 intake ports and 175cc runners have 56cc combustion chambers. I think it would bump my compression way to high. Maybe get them and run thicker head gaskets?? On the other hand, this set of heads http://www.summitracing.com/parts/tf...make/chevrolet would save me a few hundred dollars but they have 72cc chambers. Would I sacrifice HP/TQ going with these and a lower comp ratio? Is there much difference in between the 175 and 195 intake runners on the bottom end? I'm not stuck on Trick Flows but for the price they seem like a pretty good deal. After I get this done I plan on getting a custom tune done for the computer but I hope it's not necessary for it to even run.
Anyone see any problems with this combo? I've been told the stock TB and intake can support up to 400hp or so I'm not too worried about it right now. May upgrade it and turn up the fuel pressure later. I'm not looking to swap an LS into it either. I can swap heads and cam between myself, my dad and uncle.....but I'd rather take an *** whoopin' in the street than deal with the wiring nightmare of a swap. Thanks
