iwas wondering about the copper gaket because i got the head shaved and since that raises the compression i thought i would need a taller gasket to atleast get it back to factory specs. the question about the apex afc and injectors was because in the forums some people say good some peolpe say it sucks.im trying to go 10 psi but i dont want a headache. ive read that the afc advances timing and thats no good. if this can work with this setup fine but if this ---- is going to blow my motor i would rather spend some more cash and play it safe. any helpful oppinoins are welcome and thanks.
