Default Best H/C/I

What different cylinder heads, intake, and cam make the most power on an essentially stock 95 gt with full exhaust, 24lb. inj and MAF? I'm looking at around no more than 1400 for the heads but whatever price on the intake or cam?

This is kind of like asking what exhaust sounds the best.

Your best bet is to just do some research and see what combos made what power. Everyone has different opinions about what parts are the best.

With everything stock, a set of aluminum GT 40s are good heads, trick flow street heat intake will probably net you what you want although a good ole ported Cobra intake will do just as well, 70mm TB will do a nice job, and an E303 cam would be a nice touch up, if that's too aggressive, then the B303 will do nicely as well. These mods "SHOULD" push you up to around 260 or so rwhp, maybe a little more, or less,in any since, you'll be closing in on maxing out your stock fuel injectors capability.


There are probably slightly better setups, as a lot of people like AFR heads, but I'm more prone to GT 40s as they can take nice loads of power when you really get into moding your engine, and remember, you can always port them.

the gt-40 head is light years behind

Everyone overlooks the Eddy heads...flow numbers put the RPM small valve neck and neck with the AFR's, not to mention they come equiped with a better spring. I'd put my RPM's and OTS cam up against 99 percent of the 302 n/a combos out there. It's all in the combo no one individual part, and if you find pcs that make power together where you want the power (upper, mid, lower) you'll be happy with the results.

AFR's + RPM 2 intake + F cam (stick) or TFS 1 (auto)

youll proabably get more out of that than the whole TF top end kit.
you can take that to the bank
