Still tho, 50hp for a carb swap and +2000rpm in the powerband off a stock camshaft, that's a little weird to me. It goes from 225 @ 4200 to 405 @ 6200

ORIGINAL: CARCRAFT

We bolted the AFR heads onto the short-block with a set of ARP head bolts and a new set of Fel-Pro head gaskets, and reinstalled the Weiand dual-plane along with a brand-new Road Demon Jr. 625-cfm carburetor (see sidebar).

They increase valve lift.

in mmff magazine they bolted on the wieand stealth intake and a 575 demon carb onto a 5.0 capri and it added 35 rwhp and 40 at redline....and the capri already had a tweaked carb so i guess you could get close to 40 or 45 with just carb and intake...o yea they addd a air filter too..

well i do know that valve float is no longer an issure, considering the AFRs come with much better valve springs.
