heads & cams

Q's Stang · Jul 17, 2005

just for future reference...i was wondering how much it would cost to swap out stock heads & cams to performance ones? and what kind of gains would you get on a 2000 gt after the install?

patriot performance has stage 2 heads for 1,295 with exchange, you could get stage 2 comp cams i don't know the price on those are

i would steer clear of those patriots, i have heard some very bad things about them, especially with the internals. you should try to get your heads ported and go for some good cams, either good NA ones or blower cams. VT and comp are very nice. also, consider a custom grind. The vt heads flow very well, as do the MPH ones.

he has a 2000, its windsor...you need romeo. unless you want to find all the parts needed for a windsor head swap.

im in the middle of a head upgerde right now. just ordered the foxlake heads and custom grind cams. id say it very expensive.

heads = 2100

cams = 600

labor = 800

dyno tune = 550

total = 4,050 bucks

oh i thought you were going with a P-51 to compliment the P&P'd heads. I like the way it looks installed in the car.

Don't forget you'll almost certainly need valve springs. Which I hear is a PITA to put in. Actually it's the valve springs that have kept me from doing cams already.

if its like 4k for an upgraded h & c...i might as well go w/ a 6 or 9 psi s/c and get an extra 50 horses right?

WillDuhhBeast · Jul 18, 2005

Yeah, why spend 4k on less HP?

lightblade · Jul 18, 2005

3,ooo w/ labor for comp cams 270's, springs, and stage 2 port and polish, looking at 30 to 40 rwhp (w. 355 or greater, long tubes and bigger plenum/tb combo and a tune), my friend just did ported and polished svo heads and intake,and comp 270's dynoed and gaine 57 rwhp with a tune

Q's Stang · Jul 18, 2005
