probably wont even be over 300 hp. I have all the same mods to my car besides the heads and i went from 223 hp/303tq- and after tb, exhaust, headers, underdrives, trick flow intake, 73mm mass air, and cold air my numbers went to: 244hp/326tq. i almost think spending 1500 dollars for 21 horsepower was a waste of money. you need a cam to go with those heads and your 300 hp mark will be more ideal.

Default RE: Stock heads? EWWW

heres some tips for you itailianstallion

those numbers dont believe them always. mags and companies LIE and so do cops

you have things that should be changed out. a 73mm with a 70mm,24#ers

one with that setup a 65mmtb would be better, injectors dont add power. your power adders on that list are Heads,Intake. others are just freeing up HP

also you dont need a egr spacer with a cobra intake

Default hmmm

i meant headers... sorry... but yah i based my power pack off the ford racing bold on 110 kit... i figured for right now the cobra manifold is all i need right now... the afr 165's are nown to be better then 40X heads, 1.6 rockers... and then just the other free uppers.... i thought with the heads and stuff should atleast bolt on 120 which would sit me near 320 or alittle over...

Default RE: hmmm

you wont see no 120gain with just heads. just no way. stock cam can make power if properly tuned right

you can have the best heads in the world dont mean youll make the power they are suppose to if setup is wrong
