Engine plans???? is it any good.
I have a relively stock 5.0. Only have a K&n filter and mac exhaust. My goals are to get about 350 + HP at the wheels. Pretty much using what i can without haveing to replace the pistons, rods and alot of the internal parts.This is what im planning to do to my eninge as soon as spring comes around. I plan on a 70 MM BBK throttle body and an egr spacer, a Pro-M 75 MM mas air sensor,an 80 MM mas air meter 24 # fuel injectors, an sdjustable FPR, as well as the underdrive pulleys. The things i am not to sure about which would meet my goals, is inakte manifold, im either gonna go with the torker or performer intake from edelbrock, i have heard and read that these are two of the best heads to get for a streetable 5.0, the heads is another big thing i dont know of which to get, i have heard the GT-40 x heads are good but massivle expsensive, im tryign to do this on a budget. so are there any other heads that are just as good. and finally the cam shaft i was planning on getting is a motorsport F303 cam shaft. These are my original plans to do to my engine, im wanting to get about 350 or more if i could withhaving to take the engine outta the car. for one thing is this possible??? Tell me what you guys think i could or should do to get my goal of 350 HP thanks alot

RE: Engine plans???? is it any good.
For starters, a Mass Air Sensor and Mass Air Meter are interchangeable terms for the same thing, you cant get both the Pro M 75 and an 80MM mas air meter. Please correct me if I am wrong, guys. Socondly, you can't really do anything on a budget. A good set of heads is $1000+, and if you want to take true advantage of the heads, you have to get a preferably matched intake, another $500+. Sometimes, and I don't what lift this applies to, you have to get new pistons with the cam because there might not be enough clearance between the pistons and the valves. But then again, I haven't done ANY of this yet except the MAF/CAI. I am getting my stock heads oversized valves this paycheck and a B303 cam with roller rockers too. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

AFR 185s have been researched over and over again and came out VICTORIOUS...As for your cam...I got it, F-303 Cam. Name the Price (I have a set one in my head) 3 months old and in good condition...see for yourself.

I know the heads is where my money is going to be spent. I was originally planning on donig a whole rebuild but i dont think im gonna have time to pull the engine nor do i have the space to do it. i was planing on buying lil by lil. i found most of the stuff im going to get for a lil over 750 for all excluding the heads, some online places as well as ebay is always a good thing to go. I just dont know what heads are good to go for everyone is telling me different ,What are my options and waht are the HP ranges for them.
