Sell those GT40P heads. Nothing but trouble and they SUCK.

2k won't get you close to 10s. I'm at over 2500 on just buying my short block(unassembled), machine work and a custom cam. My heads were over 1000 and I still have an ENORMOUS parts list to go through.

They are the P heads, not GT40's

I ran these heads and they were awful. Did not perform much better than stock(I don't care what anyone says, they don't!) and I burned spark plug boots left and right. Kept a package of them in the car. I ran MAC 1 5/8 unequal length shorties and dimpled them in some areas. I ran 90* boots, made shields, nothing worked.
