[USMC '03 GT]

I did my research but heard every answer in the book. I'm laying it out easy, just fill it in and i'll take the highest numbers (btw stock auto with 4.10's waiting for one of the following):

Cams: $____
Gain rwhp:____ rwtq:____

Intake Manifold (plenum, manifold, and T/B) $____
Gain rwhp:____ rwtq:____

Ported Heads: $____
Gain rwhp:____ rwtq:____

No big plans past maybe a top shot of 150 N2O, starting at 100 of course, down the road. What's the best route, even if the numbers might be better than your preference? I'm really leaning towards cams.. i wanna a lope yea...

Cams: $500-600new depending on what brand etc
Gain rwhp:15-20 rwtq:18-25 depending on what cam you go with

Intake Manifold (plenum, manifold, and T/B) $200-250 again depending on brand
Gain rwhp:aprx 8-12 rwtq:8-15

no need for intake manifold, stocker hard to beat.

Ported Heads: $1200-2000 depending on who you go thru
Gain rwhp:15-20 rwtq:15-20 depending on other mods

alright, now I was gonna just port my existing heads, that isn't the same price right??? also, will i get a lope and sound mean with say a stage 2 cam of some sort, what ShoulD i expect?

you squeezing all that out on a stock LonG block? impressive. are '00's long blocks, cuz aint i a short?

[SWEET2KSTANG]

i was a stock long block, its getting parts on the way to be built now. there was more in it, but i got mad and blew it.

stg2 hitechs have a nice lope, they make great power as well. if you port your own heads, be sure to do you homework. VE is not something to take lightly, heads are the #1 thing to make or break a motor or power efficientcy.

Find yourself a spare set of heads so your car won't be down while you are having the work done. Porting will yield some minor gains in airflow. If you go +1mm on the valves then you gain a bit more. Both of these are worthless without decent camshafts. You can go either catalog cams or a set of custom grinds. About the same cost on either one. Just saying "Stage II cams" doesn't really help you at all. In order to recommend a decent grind I'd need to know the specs on the rest of the car. Auto/Manual.....gear.....tire size.....exhaust.....etc.

An aftermarket intake will help but is not a major necessity. The TFS intake is an improvement over the Bullitt intake but, again, not a necessity. You can use the stock intake with an Accufab elbow and throttle body.

you not going to get a lot of of boring it over, you can change the pistons and up the compression if you want.
