buy heads and a intake before you turbo it. you wont see any of the cars potential with the stock junk

The heads out of the 95 are still just E7s (junk). At least get some gt40s out of an exploder.

ive been going to the junk yard every weekend sense last summer, and the 95 mustang is about the 3rd 5.0L HO vehicle to show up so i was wondering about that, but there are two newer explorers that showed up in line that i'm crossing my fingers for.

and 100$ for a pair of heads

You can max out(400-500hp) the normal stock block with "crap" heads with a T70 so why bother upgrading the rest?

Good point, but with more efficient heads you can make the same power with less boost. (Better for a street tune)

thats with stock displacement. with a 347 you need good flowing heads even if you do run a turbo.
