Exclamation help me please

ok so these are the future mods i want to have done but i need help deciding
i want to have the stock heads and intake ported and thrown on a steeda 19 cam but i dont know if porting them would be a waste of money when i can just buy newer one? how much is a port for intake and the heads? how much are new better heads and intake? i really need help deciding. my goal for this car is 300-320 rwhp all motor

..I've seen very good results porting the GT40 Heads & Cobra Intake...Not sure you'll be able to pull the HP numbers your looking for, but not a waste of $$$

Get rid of the Cobra cam for sure...rest is up to you and how much you want to spend! ...you have the goodies, just "open" them up...

A good pair of ported GT-40's and your Cobra Intake, plus a good cam(the Steeda sounds like a good choice) plus a good tune-you'll have to ditch that dinky jet chip-should get you around 300rwhp with equal torque. However, I think getting to 320rwhp is bit of a stretch.

rebuild of my head's + port& polish cost me $550 with a local guy.


look up a smart man named "Thumper" at http://www.thumperoforangepark.com/


price's will be a bit higher, but it will be worth the money
