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!!!

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..

Still snowing here with about 3 inches and counting. Road are a mess. It was 15 degrees when I left for work this morning.

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)
