I have been looking around for some extra power for my gt and I have come to the decision that a top end swap would be best for what I'm looking for. I was eying up the kits they offer but it quickly becomes apparent that those kits just offer the convenience of having everything already put together for you. I figured I try to piece together my own. Here's what I'm looking at so far: AFR 165s w/o emissions crap, TFS track heat intake, and a steeda #18 cam, possibly even a custom ground cam. I figure that this setup should produce some pretty decent #s when coupled with the right injectors, TB,MAF, and fuel pump. What doyou think of the setup,and/or can you suggest something a little better?

with a tune sounds like maybe 280 to 300 rwhp

I would get a custom cam, dont limit your potential

Does anybody have any recommendations for lifters, pushrods, timing set, and a decent gasket set? Trickflow actually makes everything but the lifters I was wondering if they were any good?

any of the comp , trick flow, ford racing,or lunati's are all the same basically ..I ordered a set of the comp 245.00 dollar ones and they looked just like stock ones..held a stock one side by side and no physical difference..now internal..hmmm who knows

PJC Racing

According to Camshaft Innovations internally they are different and theComps are recommended over the others.

Have you looked at the holley intakes? On average they are making the most power, and look better than the TF stuff IMO. I have the track heat and it performs, but i just dont like the looks of it

I have the AFR catalog and it says that the heads come assembled but I am assuming that they only mean with the valves and not rocker arms, so can anybody suggest a set that would compliment the setup I have devised so far? Be easy on me this is my first time trying to piece together a system that works together well.
