Speedstang302 · February 19th, 2008, 04:01 PM

at 347 with gt40p's..wow people in low budget builds lately..fully ported gt40p's arent going to outflow most basic aluminum aftermarket heads..but when you dont have money you gotta do what you gotta do...

Iwannagofast · February 19th, 2008, 04:34 PM

+1....im not knocking anybodies build at all because it seems like almost everyone is making more progress than me......but it seems like 90% of the people that come on here are using gt40s or gt40ps in their setup.....

jam77 · February 19th, 2008, 05:45 PM

I have trick flows!!

Iwannagofast · February 19th, 2008, 05:55 PM

i think you should go with the crowd and get gt 40s and then ill take those POS trickflows and be the loser

tehdwarvenn · February 19th, 2008, 07:34 PM

well what other heads can you get for under $500 that are better than the gt40p's?

not proving a point, i REALLY am asking this question ^.^

JBIGBOOTSY · February 19th, 2008, 10:08 PM

The cam with the most lift and duration, that won't break anything will be your best bet.

tvc2389 · February 19th, 2008, 10:47 PM

aright and thanx for the info guys, yea i got the heads for free along with alotaaa other shit like 24 lb injectors, mass air conversion, and lil shit for doin work on this kids srt-4, so if i got em im gonna use em, if anything i'd wanna get like AFR heads or somethin but they're wayy to expensive

tvc2389 · February 19th, 2008, 10:49 PM

caaabooom?

Stangfather · February 20th, 2008, 01:25 PM

the crappier the heads the more cam you need...

get a E or B cam for cheap and save your money for a real set of heads.

no no no..e and b cam are first off all not really that much if all of a cam...the b would be better than the e, but the fcam will be alot better then either of those and the x and z just suck..talk to comp or crane or something along those lines and get a real cam..

Heads are not hydraulic. Lifters are either hydraulic or solid. Heads are either cast iron or aluminum.

There are no lifters on heads...

You can use GT40 heads with solid or hydraulic lifters. Just match your valve springs to the cam.
