ck and b?

Hi, I have a 350 with a performer intake, GM iron heads, XE262 cam, 8.7 compression (help here, its one of those 270hp replacement 350's) and a qjet on top obviously, so, are ck rods and a b hanger gunna be too much for me? i plan on either getting some alum L98 heads or maybe vortec heads (some suggestions there would be nice too ) later. so, these rods hangar gunna be too much for me?

OK the F hanger and CH rods are out, and the CK rods and B hangers are in.

The difference?

A noticeable power increase past 3500+ RPM once the cam (XE262) hits peak torque, louder, deeper "droning" noise coming from the open air element.

Quicker throttle response, although I thought this increase was more subtle than the mid-upper rpm power increase.

The differences overall were noticable, but not huge. For the price, and simplicity, a mod that should be one of the first things that you do.

Later,
Hype.

B hanger and DR rods. I like it (though for the heck of it, I might experiment with AU or CKs with the B and/or G hanger).

Try the CK's with a B. My L69 seems to like those a lot (and so do I!)
