I see you have these heads on your car...what do you think about the performance gain?? can you really expect 30-35 rwhp?

I haven't ran or started the car with this setup yet. The engine is built and in the car. I should be up and running next week.

In the Ford catalog, A fast, easy way to bolt-on 40 horsepower. I paid $699 for them, they were crate engine take offs. The next step in heads would have been about $1150. That's a big jump in price for maybe 15 more hp.

Also the gt40 or the Cobra lower intake ports are smaller than the head ports.

I have a set of gt40 steel heads (including cobra valve covers) that came off my 95 Cobra complete with valves, valve springs and the 1.7rr. I also have the upper and lower cobra intake, 65mm TB, 70mm(stock) & 73mm (C&L) MAF that I am willing to sell. Let me know if you are interested. Peace
