RE: what to do???

the problem is, and ive learned this over the course of this week, that u cant rely on just a flow bench test, a ported gt40 head will not beat a stock afr head, on the track it just wont. but its still cheaper and u can still get some good power from them.

Just get GT-40 heads and intake out of an explorer at a junkyard and then send the heads to thumper. Thumper ported GT-40's outflow pretty much everything. Port the intake to match and go with a trickflow cam to complement the gt-40's. Do your basic bolt ons, gears, shift kit, 3200 stall on DR's or slicks, then run a nice suspension setup and your in the twelves easily. You wanna run a 125 shot over that and you would see 11's on the right tune.

RE: what to do???
why so high of a stall? i thought 3000 was almost to much for a street car. now that i actually think about it your right why hide it. But like I said before im not going to spend an *** load on this car, ill wait till i have a fox to dothat. The nitrous will be hiding from everyone tho. Hell im not even going to tell my friends that im buying it.

3) a 2800 stall
4) a valve body for the aod
5) 410 rear gears
6) holley systemax intake
7) 24 lb injectors

RE: what to do???
after you figured in the cost for thumper gt40's i could get a set of aluminum heads. Heads=100,Porting+valve job+spring upgrade=700,shipping there and back=100. for an few extra dollarshave better flowing aluminum heads. Or E7's and some nitrous for the price of the other heads. that is why i want e7's i have also heard of some people pulling some good #'s of them. besides the heads that is what i plan on doing.
