Question

aluminum heads


will aluminum heads with larger combustion chambers really make more power than my gt40 port and polished heads? and are they really worth it in the long run i just bought a set and im having second thoughts on installing them

well if its a street car, then the trickflows or whatever they are will help big time. if your having to pretty much buy race gas its not worth it on the street. what are your GT40's flowing at now?

i bought them like a month ago suggested by a good friend but think i got bent over and ass fucked and the gas milage is terrible but there was time slips in the dash of 10.58 at 147.?? so i mean it runs like hell it breaks loose at sixty on freeway in third with 245/50/16's on it and i think it would get a lil better mileage with a fuel pressure reg and it has a 4hundred something lph fuel pump so its sqirting some gas lol
