Not really. TFS heads' sweet spot is when they are revved to the moon. Stock shortblock would go kaaaaaaaboom.

Id do 4.10 gears, full exhaust, tune, and suspension and you'll have one quick car.

And a stall too...would help..

u won't reach mid 300 rwhp with trick flow heads. They are great flowing head but that is just BS. Gears, full exhaust, and tune. If you got a vert highly recommend Maximum Sport Full Length Welded subframe connectors it will make a huge difference.

congrats on the ride. I really don't think you'll reach 300 RWHP with just heads. Just as everyone said gears, tune, suspension are a must on these cars (for a starting point) . The 2 Valve 4.6 really dosen't respond to Bolt On's that well (sadly). Biggest thing, don't listen to manufactures ranting and raving about proven RWHP gain's (K&N CAI system, BBK 78MM TB for example). Good luck...
