    Cobra vs. Performer vs Performer RPM II intake

    With those heads I don't think the cobra intake is holding you back from getting more power.They are a nice match.

    GT-40 Heads

    The Ford aluminum heads have bigger valves and ports compared to the iron versions.I really like my FRPP Y303 aluminum heads;they have modest sized ports that respond well to porting and make good street friendly power.Good low end torque and good power up to about 5400 rpm after which they lose...

    Are these good heads for my set-up?

    Those heads have big valves and ports which should make it good at the track but not so much fun for normal daily driving.

    260whp

    Any of the aftermarket aluminum heads would get you there out of the box.I had both of those cams with my combo.I pulled out the 264 after a month and put in the 258.I don't think it caused any significant drop in high rpm HP but low end torque/driveability improved a lot with the 258 while...

    Opinions Please...What do you think of these?

    Looks good but I would be concerned that every pebble you drive over felt like a rock.

    Best Fox Suspension! Your opinion matters!

    Achieving a good ride quality will be a challenge with 18"wheels due to the low profile.I wouldn't lower it unless you have smooth roads where you live.New stock springs/shocks/struts may be best for what you say you are after or maybe some adjustables eg.Tokicko Illuminas .Of course,if you...

    Best cam for my setup

    What is your current and planned setup?Why an alpha cam?Try to stabilize your setup before deciding on a cam;a very different cam may be ideal if you do/don't go with a blower and other pieces.

    Just bring a AAA membership and a cell phone.

    What to use...FMS "B" Cam or "E" Cam ???

    Consider staying with the stock cam and adding 1.7 roller rockers if you can't afford a custom grind.You will maintain great street driveability and not give up much power at all but highest rpm's.The lumpy idle of the B or E means crappy low end.It depends what you are after.

    which rockers

    The Comp Cams guy told me the same thing when I got my cam.The guys from Crane and Comp Cams obviously don't study at UTI.

    Those with GT40 setup or similar N/A, what is your fuel pressure & timing?

    15 degrees (9.5 static compression);41 lbs.I am surprised you guys with iron heads can run that much timing.

    opinions on the MGW shifter.

    It looks identical to stock assuming you put the boot back on and reuse the knob.

    opinions on the MGW shifter.

    Installed the MGW a couple of days ago.The only shifter I've ever had before is the stock one.I am just getting used to it - I find I have to give it a more deliberate nudge to get it into gear especially second.I know I'm supposed to love it based on all the great comments I have heard but I'm...

    What size injectors are enough?

    I agree.Don't put them on your car even if they are free.They would be no benefit and hurt driveability somewhat.

    Fuel Pressure Question

    My setup is not that much different than yours.I think my FP is at 41 and my timing is 14.5.My compression is also at about 9.5 because of the pistons I installed so that's why I don't run my timing higher.You could get away with 19lb injectors with the fuel pressure turned up but the 24's...

    How much power for this setup?

    Your estimate may be a little high I think.Regardless,I wouldn't get bogged down with peak horse power.That is a nice street setup that I'm sure is fun to drive.Lots of power and torque below 4500 rpm.Adding 1.7 roller rockers would work well.

    which rockers

    I believe they do increase duration slightly so your idle may change a bit.

    ball joints

    Yes,don't waste your time changing the ball joints and bushings.I got the FRPP control arms for $175/pair.They are upgraded so ride and handling improved too.

    Where are the speakers???

    The speakers you'll find are 5.25''s and with the stock amp are barely audible at speed with the top down and what you hear isn't very good.I swapped mine out for Kickers and put an Alpine amp on them.But still not great sound partly because of being behind a panel.

    Buying Heads

    I considered the X heads.For the size of the ports they should flow much better than they do.I just bought cheap smaller port y heads ($675 take offs) and ported them so they flow as well or better than the out of the box X's.I like the AFR's.Good flow from relatively small ports= good power and...
