yeah i would like to know also i found me a set that have about 2000 miles on them and was wondering, i am going to get them anyways because i know anything is better than stock but what can i expect....some mods i have.....cobra upper and lower intake, hypertech chip, ram air kit with k&n filter, b303 cam, bbk longtubes with bbk o/r x-pipe, and underdrive pulleys........just trying to figure out about how much horsepower i might gain with these

actually pretty good , you just need to do a little work.

my buddy went 11.80 on box stock gt40 intake, gt40 iron heads w/ very mild port work on exhaust, slight decking, 4.10's and 125 shot nitrous

the heads off a '93 cobra , f3zz casting are what you want.

I hate giving away my little secrets, but look on car-part.com. It's a listing of nearly all online junkyards with some pretty sweet deals if you have an interchange manual and dig in it.

imo gt40p head is the way to go, a buddy of mine got a set off of a 98 explorer, put them on his 92 5.0 convertible with an auto trans. the engine has a mild cam and bbk shorty headers, car made 345 at the wheels and ran 9.4 in the 1/8
