Default need advice and opinions on performance

(that's what she said), anyways, in my tag, you can see pretty much what my mustang has, and i was wondering how this sounds to anyone that's interested (as far as if i should go with this route)

bbk equal length shorties
bbk o/r h
dumped exhaust at the rear axel
patriot heads (with the exhaust already ported)
gt-40x upper and lower intake (is the bbk upper better?)
and a 306 stroker kit

if anyone has an opinion on how they would do thing different, and what stroker kit you would go with (or if you think other brands for the parts i listed are better) please respond, thanks

not true.....you can go .040 and .060 on a stock block......anyway to the OP Patriot heads are less than desirable and the gt-40 intake only has looks going for itself nowadays with all the better performing intakes on the market

why not get the holley top end kit or the trick flow? They claim 350 hp at the crank and its $200. Comes with upper lower intake, heads, cam, etc to do the job? I have a friend that has it and its good. Here is a thread to look at.

Your sig says E cams, it's an E cam, only one. You have pushrods, be proud of them

Might want tail pipes depending on what mufflers you get.
