powerheads.com PI head swap 110hp gain?
Anyone buy from this place?
My brother got a new Mach 1, he says it has 305 hp and my '97 GT has 215. Are those numbers accurate?
I'd like to do a head swap and if this companys numbers are accurate I will end up with more power than he has. But I'm wondering what mods need to be done for fuel delivery. Seems to me going up 110 hp is going to require some engine computer and fuel system mods (plus exhaust).
What's involved in getting my '97 to gain 110 hp besides the head and exhuast swap?
PS I also own and built from the ground up a big block '75 nova that runs in the 11's. I know chevys well but I'm new to fords.

I got the Stage 1 kit from them, with the hot cams. My kit was only rated 65 HP increase, but I have also added most of the bolt on things as well. I will be going to get it Dynoed and tuned Thursday, so I will let you know if what they say is true or not. Here is a pic of my setup. Its a 98GT. 
The only thing I am missing is the alternator bracket.

new heads add THAT Much hp!?
I still think other mods would be needed to go from 215 to 325 hp.

Not to show you up or anything, but I think Jay72, but I think the 97 has 225, the 96's have 215. But this sounds great if its true.
