Default still no heads/cams?

is there still nobody out there that has gone heads and cams? SSM has some, and delk said they would do some...somebody has to do it sooner or later. I really want to go this way, but i wanna see some results of heads and cams. Gash saw some great numbers with just heads tho... 215rwhp/238rwtq on a mustang dyno with an auto. That's, what 230ishrwhp and 255-260rwtq on a dynojet with an automatic? Come on somebody has to go n/a!

too late

but the main reason is for 2-3k picking up only 30-40rwhp.... not worth it

i dono man i think about it this way... gash put down i think 195ish before the heads on a dynojet. That should be around like...180 on a mustang dnyo, give or take some for calibration. So if we say 180, then to 215 that is 35rwhp, with just the P&P, no cams. I think cams would for sure give at least another 5 probably more so lets say he'd get a 45rwhp gain with the cams and everything else that is included in the ssm stage 3 superheads. I think that's pretty realistic. Then for torque, he put down just about 240 on the MD, which is around, what 255-260 on a dynojet, again, give or take a bit. So lets say, if he was on a dynojet, his numbers would have been around 235/260ish. Then say a manual will put down around 245/270ish. Then throw in the cams and all that is included with stage 3 as opposed to his stage two, and you should put down at least a few more, so lets say conservatively a manual would make 250rwhp/270ishrwtq (cams wont do much for the torque so we'll just keep it the same and realize that it could be a bit different.) Those are around what the x is putting down with the cali kit....Of course it probably wouldnt make torque as fast, but you would have alot of potential that opens up from it. The increased flow would probably make some lt's alot more worth it, the potential of a power adder later on would be even greater, your reliability would probably not be effected at all, and it would sound pretty ****in mean. I'm not about to be the one to test all this out because i can not have a huge amount of down time, but i'm pretty surprsised not a single person has done it. I wish flapjack had gone heads/cams and THEN the procharger [&:]. God i just cant stop thinking about it. i think a 13 sec n/a v6 would just be tight!

I'm not sure to be honest. I do know my car is the car they are using to develop the parts and tunes, with a goal to sell them to others. I'm sure they already have a line of people waiting for installs. LOL. I can't speak for them so give them a call. All I know is I am itching to see what she puts down and get her on the track.
