you sure there buddy . my macs on my current stock head will work?
i thought it had to do with bolt pattern(NEWB).. so it spark plug clearence?
how gt40Pheads and a edlebrock rpm2 intake sound ...
i have the car for sale right now and i might supercharge or turbo my 88gt if it sells....
but if not i may try to get a 66 style body and swap the engine and whatever else.or a notch..
but thats another story.
Is there a rear end support bar or somtint that can insure the rear stays squared? Somthing like a wishbone but in subframe form.
or rear floor pan replacement or supprt.

Yes, Plug clearance. Only one plug. you will need to mod like I said and get a 90* boot for the top of it Like Trim Said. Mac is a good header, The dent will not heart it...

If your keeping the car and driving daily, do the heads.
If your going to sell it, and just want to party for now, Get the Nitrous.

lol.. i was waiting for you to chime in .
yea im going to do away with the oem ,,just gt40p keeps falling short of goals...tell the truth there good budget upgrade but i can do better with more cash im willing to throw in some more.. just sticking to current budget..
I see alot of little thing that some of you guys have not mentioned i am wondering why.
Another thing is i'm juggling keeping it street legal ,i was going to go the track this week ,but i have to check my leaks out..i think i have 1 small one.
I am also going to need a helmet because i'm hoping to go 13.99 or faster and i don't want to get kicked off the track because i have no helmet.

Yes, Sub frame connectors and lower control arms are a must.
i have rear lca's and 1 subfram(lol)on the to do list
Get off the fuel injection If you want to make real steam & cheap. you can get a stealth and carb for under $500.00 Or like trim said the '93 cobra intake is on sale @ LMR. You will need to step up your injector & tune for fuel injection. plus a mass air & tb combo. If you do Carb/Manifold or Fuel injection parts, plus the heads & cobra rockers, you can make some good steam.
+ the cost of needing to change my fuel system
