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)
You may want to call the guys at Brenspeed.

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.

Sorry to hear you spent that much coin for very little gains.
But your results confirm just what I had already thought. And that is heads really won't gain much on a N/A car.

changed his mind half way through the build. Labor was only $300.00. Most was warranty (work for Ford Dealership) for fixing the one head and I paid the mech extra for everything else.

Cost of the heads was my only problem. I had a deal with the boss man for a even swap while I was on vacation. but the dumb changed his mind half way through the build. Labor was only $300.00. Most was warranty (work for Ford Dealership) for fixing the one head and I paid the mech extra for everything else.

Climbs up on the soap box...........
Man I hate cleaning the front grill with the honeycomb crap. I've try everything to keep it clean, after I wash the car it leaks water water for hours and grabs dust like no tomorrow.
Well I found one I think will cure this problem. Street Scene 950-74590
Attachment 39615
This is different from the other one they sell, it has the honeycomb like OEM.
Attachment 39616
Just need to find the tri bar Mustang to put to one side.
Climbs down and puts on a fireproof suit........

Yeah he saved me about $2500 on those heads. But it has been 5 days since I bought or had a mod installed and that seems to long. Besides I know Tom has this mod and think he is getting ahead of me in total mods
so I just bought these for me. They seem to be right up the alley of us lazy butts. Right Tom??

Hey Butthead or is it Bevis...went by the Ford dealer tonight that did sell Ford Racing stuff "No More" and they can't get the FRing oil filters. I checked all around your link to "Joe Heck Racing" and could not find the filter. Can you supply the proper link? Did your wife get home safely yet? Boy is she in for a rude time!!
