Who has better P&P heads?
I was using the search function on here and 4.0 collective and read that Powerhouse411 heads are supposed to flow better(make more HP) than SSM heads. If this is true, how much does the powerhouse411 heads cost compared to ssm heads? I read that people with just ssm heads Stage 2+ have dyno'd only gains of 10-15rwhp. Anyone ever dyno'dPH411 heads alone? Thanks ahead for any info!

. It was a consesus that if I wanted reliability, don't need 400hp and maybe not even 300hp, cheapest insurance possible,and have already put $4k~ into my mustang,a full bolt-on and suspension 4.0 seems like a good idea. Got any ideas on the heads?

ur better off going to a machine shop and have them do the work for u. just ask around in ur area, i'm more than certain that someone knows a place that can port ur heads and do a good valve job for u, and probably even regrind ur cams to match for a hell of a lot cheaper than getting a set of heads and cams from SSM. and u might help urself with the labor costs, if u can do some of the work with them.

That's an idea, but I hear engine shops won't P&P Heads as much as SSM will, so my gains could be even less than what looks low already if I don't get a cam. And does anyone know if a SSM cam destroys street drivability by moving up your powerband too high? Thanks ahead!

They will do them if you are willing to take your car to thier shop. A lot of this has to do with QA on the cam install, specifically degreeing them. You can get cams for these cars, but if they are not degreed right they will not show a gain and would also most likely experience drivability issues.

RE: Who has better P&P heads?
Good Info! So would a cam/head combo be a good mod for DD fun? I know heads I will see/feel the power, but the whole cam rpm thing is a little confusing. And does SSM make their cam for high hp instead of more lower end torque? Thanks ahead!
