Hey guys ive been lurking around here for a few months but just registered. Im buying a triple black 92 gt vert, with minor mods. I need some advise from the veterans on what heads and upper/lower intake manifold i should get. I plan on buying a vortech SC or S trim and will be running the stock bottom end while I build a 306. I was wondering if the gt40 heads out of an explorer are comparable performance wise to say TF. Also which upper/lower intake should I buy, the gt40 from an explorer or a cobra? My goal is 400whp on a conservative tune, Also I know i will need other fuel and spark components so ill have that covered. I just need advise on the heads and intake

Thank you all for reading

Well, your not going to make that power until you get the blower.

thanks for not helping one bit

The gt-40's are way off par to almost any aftermarket aluminum head...I would suggest a good set a TF'S along with one of there intakes..Since 400rwhp is going to be real hard to get with a prodution intake and a set of cast heads...ecspecaily on a conservitive tune..

^ Agree, go with a set of AFR's or TW. Also, you can go with a trickflow package that puts you right at about 350 (fwhp) and than with a nice shot you can make your power (or come close) until you strap on that blower w/ a 306.

Heres the link to the TrickFlow package:

haha thanks man, that the response i was looking for. i have a question though, you said fwhp, im guessing you meant rwhp or engine hp?
Also what kind of supercharger cam should I get, I want one thats not gonna sound like its about to stall out and fairly inexpensive

Thanks for the replies fellas, keep em comin

When I said fwhp I meant fly wheel horsepower. Also, if I were in your shoes and looking for a cam I would call up CompCams ( www.compcams.com ) and speak to them. Since you want to keep it on the inexpensive side you cant go with a custom grind but CompCams carries hundreds of off the shelf cams that will fit your engines needs. They can also give you any advice or answer any questions that you may have. BTW, the "CAM HELP" number is 1-800-999-0853. Give them a call and see what they say!
