Default gt40 heads or gt40p?

Which heads are the good ones and which are stock? is this a legit 40 hp as the add claims or is that bull?

You should see at least 40 from those...maybe not at the rear wheels, but possibly. That's not too bad since the rockers come w/ it....

Yuppers. I would recommend getting ARP head studs. Do NOT reuse your stock head bolts....bad idea. Also get some graphite Felpro head gaskets (at least).

on stock 5.0's first engine restriction is the intake then the heads. 25hp gain with heads and 40+ with intake and heads.

is there a big difference between the cobra/explorer intake and the stockers? or if i am going to get new intake is it only worth it if i get trickflow/holley/edelbrock?
