Only strip? Depends on if you want some bottom end power or just all top end? A 272/272 setup will be ideal for dragstrip but maybe not driving the 30 minutes back and forth to work for a daily driver. A normal intermediate setup would be the 264 (intake)/ 272 (exhaust) setup.

Sometimes the 5th and reverse synchros go bad in out cars. It wouldn't affect 1st gear though. Doesn't sound like your clutch is going bad, as it is more of a tranny problem.

so if i went with the 264intake and 272exhaust it will give me bottom and topend power?

i'd consider fp2x's, however if your mod list is as minimal as it looks, you have bigger fish to fry before you start worrying about building a valvetrain to go 10's.

all depends on what build/turbo setup you want to go with.

can the evo tranny fit into the 1g because i think im have tranny or clutch problems i was racing a box sentra with a sr20 and when i was gettin to like 5000 6000rpm it seem like it was trying to just out or gear and it did it in 3rd and 4th is that my clutch or tranny

why not get your tranny rebuilt, atleast you know you are fixing any/every problem with it instead of throwing a unknown tranny in. The more you drive it with problems, the problems you can/will create. I just got my tranny rebuilt with shepard forks, brass syncro's for $1200.

I agree with the others, you've gotta get more supporting mods before you think about achieving that 10 second time slip. But, if you are in a position where you can afford a good set of cams, from my personal experience, i'd go with 272/272 HKS's. These cams represent (to me) the perfect healthy medium between drag racing and street cams for a daily driver. I drive on mine every day to and from work, with an ACT 2600 thrown into the mixture too. I'm not going to pretend that I get good fuel economy, but the car drives great. Good luck bud.
