Default school me on heads and cams...

not too familiar with them, what kind of options are there for a 2007 GT? Would it be possible to see about 390-400rwhp with them? If so which do you recommend and about how much would purchase, install and tune run? I love the sound of a centri blower, but I'm thinking if I can get heads and cams for about 390-400rwhp then I'll go that route

heads are gonna cost you around $2500 for right and left and will increase inlet flow around 20% and exhaust flow around 30%.

a good set of cams will run you around $900

this will bump you up as much as 70whp with a good tune but will cost you close to $5K once it is all said and done with install, tune, ect.

i was actually thinking about this too for a while but then realized that for damn near the same amount, you can get a S/C that will add around 120whp and not have to mess with the internals...

just buy a whipple and be done with it. It will be way more cost efective.

Cams also cost you power below 3,000 RPMS. Part throttle power blows.

I recommend doing heads and cams after a blower and/or built motor....

damn...not what I wanted to hear guys. Thanks for the help though. If I go forced induction I'm not sure which way I will go. Maybe whipple, maybe procharger. Still undecided as I can't afford either yet. Whatever my autotransmission can hold I want
