i would suggest changing your cam, upper and lower intake, tb/spacer, bigger maf, headers and full exhaust if you are getting heads.. if you just want to slap some heads on your stock motor get afr 165's.

WAY too big for a "stock" 302

AFR 165's for stock 302 ........ will supply all the air it needs and no piston notching.

Twisted Wedge by TrickFlow is another really good option.

HP is awesome kit.
6-9 month wait I here from others doesnt sound so hot.

beware:
unbelievabley long delivery times are very common in the Mustang
turbo kit business. ( HP and PTS seem to have worst reps )
Most will tell you 4-6 weeks or 45days and they drag it out
a piece here and piece there for months and months.

it's so bad www.turbomustangs.com has a whole forum section dedicated to nothing but
bitching about turbo companies and long delays.

Hellion's claim to fame is kits in stock.
The hellion kit is also the only one that is smog legal and retains the smog pump.

Personally I think the HP kit has best layout, but Hellion kit is proven too, even if they do use
a "log header" on one side.

thanks for all the help r.barn... i like the hp kit but i am just being a cheap bastard, i have the money i just wasnt looking to spend that much but you kno the saying you get what you payed for...so back to what heads you think would be good for a turbo setup...oh yea and if anyone knos anything about bogarts, before i buy them they want 1250$ for a set of d-10s, 15x8and15x3.5..sound right to anyone cause i sure as hell dont kno any pricing on them really...
