RE: heads
I have AFR 205s on the 418 in the 85GT and AFR 185s on the 357 (351 bored .030) in the 92LX. The AFRs rock but the Trick Flow heads are as good.
Can't go wrong with either and make sure the intake is getting all the heads can breath. Port matching would help. My 92 is EFI with a Trick Flow R intake and adjustable SCT chip and tune.
You need the bumpsteer kit with the lowering you plan.
3.73 or 3.90 gears and a good set of tires will help your E.T. drastically along with learning what the car wants as far as launch RPMs and shift points.
I doubt you'll see 12's with the stock camshaft though...gotta pump what those heads can flow! Of course then you need the subframe connectors and uppers and lowers and torque box reinforcement and... and...

RE: heads
yeah its a 2003 with the 4.6 did i post in the wrong section? oops sry if i did, told yah i was new at these things haha[8D] n yeah i was thinkin about putting a new maybe stage one cam in it but idk if i want to spend all the money n time on that plus me not too experienced with these motors id have to spend the extra money to have some shop do it im not too sure how much it would cost but any ways im 21 now and all i wanna do is drive drive drive so i figured id get this motor as quick as possible without goin too crazy on the budget and wait a couple few years and put a new bigger motor in the ole girl and toss a supercharger on it
hopefully then with the right tunes and tranny/ clutch combo ill be able to reach the 11's?
