hipo heads
who has upgraded? Who has the beast deal? What kind of gains can I expect if I do heads with cams? Does anyone have dyno test results? Is it a worth while upgrade?? Help

probably wouldn't do heads, 3v flow almost as good stock 4v heads according to magazine mustang and fast fords. cams are different story. it is becomes a cycle, new cams new gears, headers and probably not enough hp for the money. i'm 63 and been there done that.my 08 gt has been paid for for 3 years and was thinking about going fi but decided for the money i could get a 2013 gt with 373's for a little bit more money and have a car just as fast and new.

yea I just cheked american muscle for heads, they stated 50 hp with their 1900 heads if you get the 700 dollar cams with the heads. Whoa. I don't really ever think I will ever be able to buy a supercharger for 3500 plus so I was looking a other options. Maybe just go with the cams ...... maybe! 2k for heads is out of my budget for what you get out of them.

I honestly go back and forth in my head on this regularly. N/A vs. FI...which do I think I would like more? Then what if you hate the drive ability of the car if you go n/a. Then I just think well why not buy a 2013 for the money and the trade in...ok well then you get a new car or slightly used car but I bought this one brand new and drive it right off the show room floor so then I lose my sentimental value (which, mind you, has never been very high with most things but for some reason is very high with my car)...ahh decisions decisions
