E 6 heads curious

Is the E 6 heads the reason why the 86 mustang is 20 hp shy of the 87 mustang? Are they really that crappy of a head? Ive noticed that the 86 mustang even has more compression ratio than the 87 and up.

Yea - that's the biggest reason.

wow they suck big time

Yeah, Its basically the only difference between them and an 87. The heads on an 86 are a shrouded valve head, and they were great for emissions, but they didn't flow very well at all.

The 86 intake was a POS also, not to mention smaller cam profiles to limit valve lift since the pistons had no valve reliefs.
