New engine 2k to spend what parts to get?


Okay guys i have this engine brand new in my car...ive been workin my ass off and now i finally have some money saved up. Im lookin to get intakes cam and heads all at once. I have about 2k that i want to spend and i have these heads in mind because of the reasonble price...they also seem like good heads but then again i dont know much...heres the link for them http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...mZ320118034394
I was thinking of a cobra intake upper and lower...and then a x303 cam. I have that engine already along with shortys heads flowmaster american thunder exhaust and 3.73 gears in the rear. With the x303 it warns about piston to valve clearance do u guys think ill have a issue with that? if so what do u think is best for what im looking for and i have. My car is a every day driver but i want it to be a beast. Thanks for the help!

he found me another 50hp by porting em.

With that low compression ratio, I'd throw some boost at it instead... just my .02

Leave the motor alone. That's what I would do. If you have a T5 you are at the breaking point as far as TQ goes. I would take the 2000 and upgrade my tranny and/or suspension. Get an aluminum d/s and/or some lighter wheels. 280 hp and 315 ft lbs of tq is nothing to sneeze at. Especially for a daily driver.
