Default Heads?

With the car in my sig and the mods listed if I added gt40p heads, what kind of hp gain would I see? Would it do much without adding a cam? Which would be a good cam? I was thinking maybe tfs 1. I would like a cam that makes power and is pretty lopey. Also would I need to up the injectors and maf? thanks

+40hp with the heads
yes cam will help. TFS 1 cam is not bad, but custom cam is better. Ford E cam not bad either.

You dont HAVE to do a cam swap, but it will only help.

stock injectors are fine.
76mm C&L MAF would be good upgrade.

might want to upgrade to a 155-190 lph fuel pump too.

a Ford B cam would probably make you happy or TFS 1
