Yeah, they don't seem too bad. I am looking at getting the FR500 heads/cams/high lift kit but they don't have the heads. cjponyparts has it and it's a little cheaper. lethal does seem to have a wide selection too

Ok, need help. Will the FR500 heads and cams work on my 98? The intake side looks much different, so does that mean I need to get a different intake?

Yes you will need a different intake(99-01 cobra or mach one) The h/c/i gets expensive why not just buy a supercharger?

H/C/I does get expensive lol

idk how much the fr500s are

cams start at $1100 if u need valve springs thats $350-$400
Intakes you can get a used 01 cobra for $350-$400 or a guy on corral is selling a really good looking hand polished one for $5 or 550.

As Ehmark said F/I might not be a bad way to go, i went H/C/I because my car had a bunch of miles on it anyway and it was time for a rebuild.

If u do decide to get something from CJponyparts and are worried about shipping, depending on what part of Va you are in you could make the trip up, there in Mechanicsburg, PA but come to carslile every year, you could always tell them to bring something down and they will do it.

S/C is always a great way to go but with my mileage creeping up onto 109K and with this being my DD changing to forced induction without already having either the money to rebuild or a rebuilt rotating assy. already it would not be worth it. Besides 60+ hp sounds pretty good with only changing out the h/c/i. Gotta love timing the 4.6, waaaayyy to dam* easy! It would be the most reliable IMO. Supercharged is in store as well but that is later on when the supporting hardware is in place to really crank the boost up.

h/c/i should probably only run around 3500 and that's everything. Supercharging gets expensive as you progress lol. I'll get my 03 cobra for that one day haha.

How much of a gain did you notice with your H/C/I?? I am extremely interested in what the butt-o-meter has to say about this one? I'm already impressed with what mine has so far and another 60 has got to be nice.
