It has been a little while since anyone said anything about p&p heads for our S197s and I was just wondering if anyone knew what type of power you would gain from such a modification. The only ones I have found were the ones made by BBR and they are going for 1600 or something like that, but I wanted to see what kind of power I can expect for the money. I am trying to build my engine up since I want to stay n/a for a while and I have heard that this is a good mod to do. Just in case no one knows how the 3v engine reacts to this then I was wondering what kind of increases 4v and 2v engines are seeing just so I can get an idea. Thank you.

I think I heard that they are producing around 75hp for the new '05 Stangs

I would be very surprised to see 75hp from porting & polishing. I'm pretty sure Livernois got 45.

I'm having mine done, but there's a bunch of other stuff being done to her too (and I didn't have them do a dyno pull for baseline), so I won't have a straight before/after comparison.

As for "when" - I called the shop again Thursday. Latest estimate is this Wednesday (Sep 7th, 2005).

I know you can get them from several places now. If you go on Suttonhp.com they have a list of various stages you can get. I am pretty sure if you do a full stage job with the Sutton heads they modify it to accept a different spark plug. I would think if you called around you could get some info on them. Be skeptical of what shops tell you though because few have actually tested them yet.

Where on the Sutton site are the heads packages. I have looked over the site a few times and have not found them.

I thought they had more on it then they do. They must have taken some info down or something. There is a little spat on the homepage, midway down on the right side column. Guess you'll have to call to get more info.
