I gained alot of power by using a GT40P/Cobra intake engine combo but pieced mine together for a few hundred less then they are asking for the kit. My car runs pretty stout using that stuff and I like the fact that they are Ford parts so reliablity shoud be there.

Wasnt sure if you were replying to me or not... but I think that $600 for a new computer-friendly camshaft as well as an entire turn-key engine including GT40 heads and an intake is one hell of a deal. I didn't run it for very long for other reasons, but it's still a decent deal.

I didn't need the other stuff like MAF, injectors, etc because I already had all that. By the time I bought this stuff I already had larger injectors, nitrous, a supercharger, full exhaust, gears, a Tweecer that I used to tune the car myself, subframes, control arms, shift kit, ratchet shifter, and a list of other crap I'm sure I forgot lol. There was nothing left to upgrade.

Would have been a better deal if I didnt sell the heads and intake about a month after...and then the entire Mustang shortly after lol.

Then for a camshaft I paid $200 and bought a Steeda #19. So basically, for $600, I had a decent budget H/C/I setup.
i was thinking the same thing they wanted 600 for a whole engine here
