If you have NO BUDGET....

AFR 165/185
Edelbrock Perf.
FTI custom Cam
Full exhuast (as free flowing as possible)

Decent Budget.....

Trickflow package for $2000
includes
Twisted Wedge Heads
Street or Heat intake
Stage one Trcikflow Cam
and once again a free flowing full exhuast with long tubes.

TIGHT BUDGET....

GT-40 heads
Cobra Intake (used)
Crane Cam
Free flowing exhuast....
The last combo probably wont get you the 300 rwhp but it will put you close to 12's on DR's...

If you have the '01 GT that is in your sig, you might want to head over to the 4.6 forums. I don't think many of us will be able to help you here. If you have a 5.0 though: AFR 165's/FTI custom grind cam/Edelbrock Performer will get you close to 300rwhp. The Trickflow kit is also good.

www.crmotorsports.com has the complete trick flow engine packages at good prices. 2040 for the street heat intake, 2100 for the track heat intake, those include shipping. and like other people said, if you have more money to spend go with afr heads and a good cam.

The AFR-185's on a stock bottom end might be a little too much, most people use AFR-165's

AFRs are badass, but they aren the only thing taht makes power

well the AFR'S might flow a little better out of the box and they have smaller valves on the 165 so better velocity, but they are gonna run about 300 more than the twisted wedge heads and my guess is that they would only make about an extra 5 hp on a Full HCI.....lol please dont slaughter me afr fans.

By looking at the flow rates in the FAQ up above I would tend to agree. Then again, flow rates arent everything when it comes to heads.

I am thinking a set of Trick Flows with a VERY healthy cam and a Cobra intake when I do HCI.
