I am looking into porting and polishing my heads, and putting new cams in my car. I have a 2002 gt. I wanted to maybe purchase aftermarket heads but there arent many companys that ive seen that produce them for my car. I wanted trick flow but they dont make one. anyways what my question would be is what should i do to gain most horsepower. Example..... what type of cams, rocker arms, or valves....... If you have experience with this on my car or just know some good products i would appreciate your response

No one makes aftermarket heads for our cars.The ported stockers work just fine .Rockers arent available(at least cheap ones) and are not needed because the factory ones are roller any way.

Cams - im prefer comps .Ive have them and love them.But with a cam id recommend contacting the cam company and let them recommend a cam for your combo.

Get stage 2 PI heads and have someone make a cam for you. Basically tell them what you want out of your car. Meaning if you want to go N/A, turbo, blower, or nitrous. I think Patriot makes heads for the 4.6. Hell i can be wrong but i would just go with stage 2 PI heads because you know it will work and give you HP.

They are afs 17 x 9 (front) and 17 x 10.5 (rears).

One thing be prepared to like cleaning your car with white rims .It stands out but you got to clean them every few days.

But i wouldnt trade them for anything(except my welds for the track )
