Concerning aftermarket 4.6 heads
The way I here it from the big manufacturing companies we are *** out:
Me: Does TrickFlow have any plans to address the highly popular need for a set of good flowing aftermarket cylinder heads for the 96-04 4.6L 2V Mustang GT engine?
TF: Not at this time, sorry...
Me: Does Edelbrock have any plans to address the highly popular need for a set of good flowing aftermarket cylinder heads for the 96-04 4.6L 2V Mustang GT engine?
Edelbrock: At this time there are no plans to make these heads.
Haven't got a response back from AFR yet but I know what they are going to say. Very dissapointing knowing we are stuck with only $500-$1000 plus intake manifold options [:@]

is there something wrong with the Patriot heads that you dont want to use those? I have not got any myself (yet) but from what I hear they are pretty decent and seem to be pretty well priced as well.

The problem is with the port design. ford chose to use a new style of port design that is not optimal at all and in order to get better flow the ports would definatly have to change and that would require a different valve train and intake manifold. take the 2000 cobra r design for example. awsome head one of the best ford makes. now for the ford gt they improved it by raising the intake port (went from 115 degree turn to a 175 degree turn) to allow for a straighter shot into the cylinder this new design requires a unique intake manifold and shorter narrower lash adjusters. so if trick flow made a bad *** head it would have to retailat least $4000 who would pay 4 large for better flowing heads?

It would be nice if Trick Flow came out with a Twisted Wedge version that changed the valve location to unshroud the flow.

you all say you wanna buy one of these new heads but when you see the price they have to sell them at in order to cover their R&D i doubt you'd feel the same... I've accepted the fact that I'll have crappy flowing heads=/
