Most headers will work on the GT40's, but the P's need different headers (like mentioned above). W/ the P heads, you'll need a header where the primary comes out farther before turning down toward the collector. You can also use shorty spark plugs and 90* plug wires to gain more clearance. FRPP makes some for the P heads that are stainless and won't corrode.

You can use any intake, but you should try to match it's rpm range to the combo you're running for best results. The trickflow street heat or track heat is popular as well as the Holley systemax or Edelbrock RPM/RPM2.

The TF kit with supporting mods and minor suspension work should put you into the 12's.

what do you tf guys run in the quarter?

RE: Best bang for your buck top end kit
 

wow.. thats about where i want to be.. i want a respectable street car, that drives to the track..
that would put me around 300 hp or so right?

RE: Best bang for your buck top end kit
 

Yup, with supprting mods you should be right around 300rwhp. With a GOOD suspension and a small shot you could get deep into the 11's.

on slicks?

also, i just freshened up my motor.. rod bearings, main bearings, oil pump.. everything..
will my stock bottom end hold up under all this power? what about the t-5?

RE: Best bang for your buck top end kit
 

Yes, your car could take 300rwhp very easily. Most people stop at aroun 450rwhp because they pretty much are at their limits. I personally know people who run 600rwhp! BUT its not a matter of IS the blocks will split its a matter of WHEN. I have also heard of people splitting them at 500rwhp... its a chance you take and thats why most stop at 450rwhp or in that area.

Also, your T5 will prob hold up but good luck... lots of guys have tons of problems when you mix stock t-5's and hp/tq.
