how much power would i see from a fully ported tb upper and lower intake, along with fully ported and shaved stock heads? (11:1 compression preferably, but is it even possible to have a shop machine that much off the heads?)

cant decide between this or a new computer for school... what do you think?

if youre gonna do all that, you should also do an intake spacer and cams at the same time to get the most out of the setup

and i think the term youre looking for is milling the heads

lol i wasent sure what exactly it was called but i read and article in a magazine last month that referred to it as shaving material of the bottom of the heads to increase compression so i just guessed and thats what i ended up with. but its good to know the correct terminology lol thanks.

you will need higher compression pistons to get that kind of compression

i would like to do the cam and valve train as well but i don't think ill have that much to spend, and I'm not sure how big i can go with the cam without needing springs, lifters, and pushrods and such.

in that case than, wuts the highest compression approx that he can get by just milling the heads than?

for the cam, youll just need new springs. lifters and pushrods arent required

ah shit... how much do you think is possible by just working the heads?

[itschristorres8]

no idea. i dont think you'll even be in the 10:1 area though

with a regrind cam you can probably get away with stock valve terrain

[Avaric3]

stock is 9.37:1cr so i would think you could hit 10:1or pretty close to it??

hmmmm any suggestions for a better way to spend 2k?

[Avaric3]

you have 2k to blow??

-gears= $175

-t lock= $175 (Speed Concepts - Performance Parts to feed your appetite!)

-xcal 2/3= $375 (Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle)

-windstar upper intake= $55 (pm itschristorres8)

-p&p lower intake= $200 (pm itschristorres8)

-intake spacer= $75 (VAP Auto - Intake Spacers, J-Mod Kits & more!)

-j-mod= $75 (VAP Auto - Intake Spacers, J-Mod Kits & more!)

-25% underdrive pulleys= $250 (VMP Tuning Inc)

-aluminum driveshaft= $240 (Speed Concepts - Performance Parts to feed your appetite!)

=$1620

even leaves you some extra cash to save

swheet!! swap the jmod for a spec clutch and aluminum flywheel and thats a nice list. (original has 76,000 on it)

thanks, looks like a fair amount of effort went into that.

i smell rep
