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........

I second that...You know his is always lurking in the background without much to say. Of course in the long run he is probably the smarter one of us all!!

DONT BOTHER getting FRPP heads unless you have a turbo or supercharger.
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.

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.
