ive been thinkin of a new set of heads, cam, and intake, can anyone recomend a certain brand or even show me a kit that wont kill my wallet but still give me a good horsepower gain.

There's about a million posts about this. Trickflow has a nice kit and so does holley. They're both around 2400. Not sure how much it would take to kill your wallet. Or you could build your own combo. You could find some used iron gt40 gt40 p heads off an explorer and the upper and lower intake and pick up say a used f303 cam for about 900 all together.

How fast do you want to go and how much money do you have to spend. You have to answer those questions before anyone can give you a good recomendation.

the biggest question like darrell said HOW MUCH money do you have to spend

[Dipped95gt]

no more than 1500

i would say try and get a good set of heads....what do you have done to your car now....maybe this can help some....

GT40P heads, Explorer intake, a mild off the shelf cam such as one of the Trick Flow grinds or a Comp Cams or even an Anderson and matching valve springs. A set of 3.73 gears too if you don't already have a good gear set in the car.

That would be a good start and would make a noticeable difference.

3.73 rather then 4.10s?

[White Thunder]

4.10s would be better for the track..its hard to tell because i don't know anything about this guy. maybe he posted it in another thread but i didn't see it

+1, find good deals, and shop around for gear installation prices, and you MAY have a good deal of money left over.

GT40/GT40P heads fresh out of machine shop ~$400-500
GT40 tubular/Cobra intake/explorer intake $150-350
TFS stage 1 cam $80-150
Valve springs $100-200
Gears and master install kit ~$230 +install price $150-400

4.10s are fine on the street too...

[Iwannagofast]

4.10s for an auto is my opinion

[Tony_90fox]

i love my 4:10s

The difference is minimal. There is a bigger difference in gas mileage than acceleration. I've done this comparison before a few times.

Listen to what Darrell said! Decide how much, how fast, and how friendly.

It's not glamorous, but if I were tight on cash, I'd contact Thumper of Orange Park and investigate one of his head packages. He can provide you with ported E7's or GT-40s, cam, timing chain, and other bits that can put you in the 13's or 12's for under a $1,000.00. Just remember, to paraphrase Smokey Yunick, "the motor don't know the name on the heads" and "fast is fast".

I use an Edelbrock, GT-40, intake, X303 set up on my 347. (You can see the whole set up on my webpage under the title "All the Details") No doubt I'm giving up some horsepower, but it's fast enough to scare the snot out of me from time to time. And, it was what I could afford.

Good luck on your choices.
