There still great head's. The main issue is the plug's and plug wire's. alot of header's will work fine as adder stated.


If you pay $100 for them and put $100 for cleaning etc. make sure to get them checked to be sure there not warped or anything.


P head's are sapposed to make more power then regular GT40's. But there can be issue's with SOME headers, and plug wires getting melted by the headers. And i think you MIGHT need a different spark plug....

i say go get 'em tiger.

Your intake is treating me great, I'm going to the track tonight so we'll see what kind of times I can get out this car, it is very fun on the street. I am buying a Lasota racing custom chip next week to add to the mod list.

my car had 150k when i rebuilt the head's and had them polished.

the new spring's and valve's really gave it some "life" back. Most noteably it started up faster. use to take 4-5 turn over's to fire, but now its always 3.
