I have mine ported and polished a little with comp cam 110lb springs, and new exhaust valves and my car pulls damn hard.


If you have the money you should look into getting something else. Even GT40, or GT40P heads are only around $200-$400 used and pick up pretty good power over E7's.


If i could do it over i would have just got some GT40's instead of messing with mine. but i dont really regreat it, as the car is fun to drive, and is pretty damn quick for what it is.


good luck

take all the valves out, thread a rope through an intake port and out of the valve opening and then make a tight knot and use it as a boat anchor when you are fishing. I swear this is the best use for these heads seeing as how otherwise they are trash.
