Default Need advice on heads and cam

I have a 02 mustang GT and need to know what is the best set of heads and cam to go with. My mods now are bbk long tube headers, off road x-pipe, 75mm tb, under drive pulleys, air intake, superchips programmer. I am looking for more hp and i think going with heads and cam would be the best route.

Default RE: Need advice on heads and cam

kinda depends on what you're doing with the car in the long run...

all motor/nitrous/turbo/supercharger...

With heads, not so much. Try VT, Steen Racing, Fox Lake, Patriot... or just get a set of PI heads and have them P&P'd.

The cams is where you'll need to decide what you want to do (unless you just don't care and will switch them out later). Also need to decide how agressive you want to be.

Mild but noticeable street cams, try a comp xe270 or VT stage 2 n/a's. But be sure to do a spring upgrade.

For now i want to go all motor and see how much i can get out of it. Maybe sc later maybe not sure yet. Its a daily driver and i wouldn't mind a rough idle.

Thanks for your advice.

I liked the GT40 heads/E303 cam setup one of my friends had.
