I'm knew to modded mustangs and am really getting interested in modding my stang. I have had my 91 5.0 5 speed for 4 years now, and just started really getting into modifying it. I am in the process of having 3.73 gears installed as I type. I'm looking to build my engine up in the next year or so (I'm in college so I'm trying to acquire parts as I can afford them). I had a set up in mind and have started to acquire parts for it. I was going to go for a complete GT 40 set up and have acquired a GT 40 intake, and was eventually going to get gt 40x heads, an e303 cam, and 1.7 roller rockers. Well i have been thinking that I want afr 165 heads, because i want to stay emissions legal and get as close to 300 rear wheel hp as possible (more is good less isn't horrible). My question is though, will the rest of my set up hold the afr's back if i keep that set up and go with afr's? or should i just stick to the gt 40x's (money really isn't an issue)? Thanks, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If money is not an issue i would get tfs heads holley systemax intake and a custom ground cam. And sticky tires so you can run 11's.

I would opt for something else than a systemax intake on a 302 such as a trick flow street burner.i

And i doubt you will be able to run 11 with a mild 302.

tfs heads a holley systemax intake and a custom cam with with slicks is running in the 11's.. maybe high, but there.

Whatever you say man. have you ever done it with a little over 300 rwhp?

11's would be nice, even high 11's but my main goal is to just get as close as possible 300 hp at the wheels.

If thats all you want get the trick flow top end kit it should put you right at the 300 mark and 12's should be in sight 11's with some nitrous'

I think I may be going with the trick flow top end kit and then nitrous later. thanks for the input

Go for the AFR 165s or TFS Twisted Wedge heads. I'd probably look into a different cam such as a TFS stage 2 or one of the Comp Xtreme cams.

You don't even need a custom cam.

Yes.

you need a dead on set up to run 11s with 300 hp, but people do it. It isn't going to happen unless you are a track regular and work at it to get the car set up.

I'd say go for the trickflow top end kit, possibly the one with the stage 2 cam and track heat intake.
