However, I will be able to help a little. porting the intake and heads allows more air to get into the cylinder. Yes, this will give you an increase in horsepower. Also, yeas you can port and polish your stock heads and intake. However, you'll have to remove them to do it, so you might as well upgrade them while your at it. Hope that this helps. As I said chris will be able to tell you more. __________________ MWWarlord 1995 Mustang convertible check out my garage for pics and a complete list of mods. http://www.tricktuners.com

glasspacks probably isnt the best muffler
exhaust and intake together is about 10hp with the mid pipe.
ported intakes and heads is roughly about 50-60hp if you get a cam the gains are much better. such as if you get a regrind or new cam you can see about 70+
cam really works well with the ported and polished set up

I love having just one head 350cnc porting lol.

and porting is essence is just making the intake and exhaust "ports" bigger
