View Full Version : Heads on the way
Well, after buying, then selling a set of GT40P's, I am back to having another set..
I sold my first set in light of going TT with the car, and you cant get TT headers that will fit the P heads.
I have now decided to build it n/a and bolt on about 150hp of Nitrous.
They have been ported already, so that saves me money off the bat.
They have Trick Flow valve springs installed, and a 3 angle valve job.
I know there is better heads out there, but for $300 I couldnt pass on it.
Im still running the stock, shitty headers, so I needed to buy a set anyhow. The P's require a different header, so really, that doesnt effect me any since I need them anyhow. I am thinking about BBK long tubes instead of the shorty's.
These heads should work w/my cam rather nicely.
Now I just need to settle on a set of injectors/intake.
Not real sure how well the ported P's flow vs stock. But I do know there's a large "hump" in the exhaust port which ppl always get rid of w/porting job.
Here's a comparison chart..

Definately a upgrade should open it up on the top end with a good complete exhaust. Did you look into the Trickflow track heat stuff???

Haha yea right now I have 2 1/2" w/dumps.
That new Track Heat intake is terrible unless you are running a balls out motor.
One of the mag's tested it on their stroker 347 and still lost power.
It's mainly for boosted and very high rpm applications.
I'll prob just run a ported gt40/cobra intake.
I can pick one up cheap, I know someone who has one lol.
I need to pick up a set of rockers too..

lol I do it all the time, I just dont post it.
The WS6 has a full suspension, literally.
A moser rear end
Full exhaust
SLP rockers
Ported TB & MAF
Mail order tune
Bunch of other little stuff.
I had aftermarket TB & MAF but the damn thing wouldnt run right.
TB was a Summit brand, and the MAF was a Granatelli.

pcm4less did it.
I bought one instead of having the exchange deal.
I sent it back to get re-done for the 3:73's and still havent gotten it back yet.

You have to do anything to them? Or are they ready to bolt on?

They already have trikflow springs, all they need is rockers which I bought.
The stock e7's suck ass, so just changing the heads should be about a 40hp increase supposedly.
They have had the shit ported out of them, as well as larger valves.
Im going to have the Cobra/GT40 intake port matched.
I found a spacer that goes between the upper/lower that has NOS foggers in it, so I think im going to pick that up and transplant the kit from the T/A to the stang.

Bottom end is already done..
It's been bored .30 and balanced w/e303 cam.
They just stuck the stock intake/heads on it, with some rediculous valve springs. I think theyre triple.
Well, Im finally back in town and starting to gather pieces for this thing again..
This would be so much easier if I didnt have ADD
lol

Get on it man.
Haha I know, I know.
I just keep changing my mind on the route I want to go w/it alot.
Picked up a gt40 intake off of evilbay really cheap.
It'll do for now anyway..
It's been blasted/coated.
