yea cause they have a dist less ignition. also make sure you check for clearence with your headers. some will work some wont. if you have t guess it then get the ones for the gtp heads. cause of hte spark plug is more straight then angled like the stockers and interfer with the header tubes

I believe the cam grind is different... It will have good low end torque but will not have near the top end that a normal 5.0 should have... That would be the first thing i would change...

Not with the GTP heads.. and yes you can put the cam in... If you still have the E7 heads you can always put those on and use your headers....
