Aluminum heads

[88foxresto]

I need to know what a descent set of aluminim heads that flow pretty good. Nothing like afr's but the best bang for the buck.

Remember you get what you pay for.....

[nastynotchback1]

Really depends on what your goal is.a victor jr is a good out of the box head and leaves room to grow in the future

[slonomo]

You need to figure out what your looking for edelbrock victors are great but thats alot of head for a real mild motor

[88foxresto]

well i like the gt40x but it about 1000 for a set. i would like to get a descent used pair. i would want to make any where from 275-300 with a gt-40 intake and cam.

[slonomo]

With that intake and cam thats about all your gonna be able to get

[88foxresto]

With that intake and cam thats about all your gonna be able to get

yea thats all i want. nothing more for my first 5.0. ill be wanting more with another stang. just enough around the street cause its my dd.

[slonomo]

I would still look into edelbrock or trickflo

[Notch93]

With that intake and cam thats about all your gonna be able to get

He never said what cam.:nonono1: And you can get well over 300 rwhp by using a GT40 intake.

[88foxresto]

say i went with edelbrock, what cam?

Well.....the very 1st question is if you have a 86-88 5.0.....is if you have done a MAF conversion or is it still Speed Density........if you are still running SD you have to be really careful of which cam to run.

i like the GT-40 Y303s and the Xs i had the Y303s on my 89 hatch with a TFS stage 1 cam... and i like trickflow thats my 2 favorites... AFRs are nice but a set of trickflow wilkl do better and save money

Not out of the box

tw would be a good head for that goal.if you wanna go used i have a set a customer left with me to sell.fresh and ready to go.he is asking 1000.00 for them

1k is about what you're looking to spend.

whats your goals for the car?

[88foxresto]

about 300+ horsepower for a dd. just to have fun with. not a full blown drag car but a hotrod type build.

[bsfd172]

If you aren't looking to spend money, you can always get your stock heads ported and a nice valve job done on them, replace springs and rockers and you save some $$. I had a set ported and without changing anything else i picked up almost 2 tenths at the track. The is with completely stock bottom end and stock airbox.

300+ to the wheels is a heads cam intake combo away, here are a couple i have heard make power around that range:

my favorite combo - TF TW heads and a systemax intake

afr 165's, trick flow intake

performer RPM heads and a trick flow intake

all the above with a cam to match (call crane or comp to spec it out) should put you right around there give or take 10-20rwhp.

of course you should also have the supporting mods - 30's 80mm mass air, 70mm TB, headers, mid pipe and cat back.

Out of all the heads, the TW is a truely hard one to beat. I have done many combinations with all heads. For the money, out of the box, they are the best ones out. They also have room to grow, and are capable of 9sec. NA combinations(ported).
