From what I've read there only good for about 20-30 HP N/A. I figure about end of April or first of May for the cams.....But I would dig having a set heads settin at Brent's to throw on with the cams! Scott my goal with this car is 400 HP N/A at the fly!...I've spent about 900.00 this month on the Stang!..........Thank goodness for paypal! no credit card trail for the wife to track........
You know what they say..."it's only money" I think you need to be the ginea pig for the next few months..

Are you ready for ported heads already? Not sure on a N/A engine they are worth all that much. You had better get your wife back home. You seem to be spending alot on mods lately. Do yourself a favor and get the cams from Brenspeed. They are worth the $1,000 bucks installed. Heck I'll come up and meet you for your install!!! Probably the only way we will ever meet!!!
I had a lifter problem last summer. So I decided to have cams installed while it was down. While tightening down one of the cap bolts the cap broke(19 inch pounds). So I thought that since I had to change one of the heads I would get the FRPP heads since its been listed that you get 20% and 30% better air flow. Installed them then took the car to Brenspeed and you can tell by the numbers listed in my sig that that didn't help on a N/A motor.

Do you thinhk this would be the case in my car? I'm considering some AFR heads for this summer, but I dont want to do it if its not going to do anything....I want to make sure I spend my moeny wisely where it will do the most damage on the dyno....(the good kind of damage that is)

Just a light dusting of snow here, driveway already melted and most of the snow is gone from the winter driver. It's about 10 degrees here at the moment.
