Default Heads & Cams

How much horse power to expect from heads and cams? which cams? which heads? I dont want to lose too much of my low end power! If its not possible to get 320 rwhp, im selling my car and getting an lx fox body and slapping on a turbo.[X(]

Supercharger, or NOS is pretty much ur best bet for 325. Especially if ur expecting 325 rwhp.

with your current setup plus heads and cams i think you can come damn close to 300 rwhp.....but why not slap on a supercharger and make 400+ rwhp for near the same price as heads and cams?

With the money you would drop in heads and cams to get 320 rwhp, you could spend on a supercharger and more than likely get 350+

Yeah. I guess your right but I want to be able to hang with the cars I hang around with.(cobra 470+ rwhp eindow he is on this forum, 490 rwhp turbo camaro, 450rwhp 300z) so maybe i have to go the fox body route with a turbo with the money i have let over...... Its just hard to part with my car with all the race track experience we've had together

you could build the 4.6 with good internals, supercharge and boost the fu*k outta it and do suspension mods and sticky tires and i think you could give them a run for their money

I don't think a 125 shot could do the trick. And I dont think it's really safe for the stock internals!
