Default What heads?

It's time for me to move on from my GT40P heads. I have an explorer intake and E-303 cam. What would be a good set of heads for me? Keep in mind it's my daily driver and rarely sees the track. I'm looking for a nice upgrade but still reasonable in price. Ideas?!



Thanks.



It's a '90 LX btw.

You are going to get tons of mixed opinions. So in my opinion get some TrickFlow Twisted Wedge heads. If you want to spend a little more you could also get soem AFR's. Both will net you good power and torque.

Most of the main name aluminum heads are going to do pretty well. Like said everyone has a specific brand they like, most of the time it's what they currently have on their engine.

Trick Flow or AFR, we have AFR's. I believe Trick Flows cost a little less.

Try to sell them? lol



And yes, I would like to hear everyone's opinion. A guy at my local mustang shop ran world product heads on his fox and really liked them. Any particular heads I should shy away from?

Skip on ProComp and Patriot aluminum heads. The rest of the heads out there are really good like Onyx said.
