I am looking for 300Hp and would like to make power to 6000 rpms. I was thinking about getting an explorer top end (Heads, intake) using an e or f cam, fuel upgrades. Im trying to do this on a budget I dont have the money for nice heads and a custom cam, the car is not daily driven and is taken to weekend track days once in a while. So any input is appricated

thanks

Those parts would make an improvement but will fall way short of your goals.

The cheapest horsepower and way to your goal can be found with a supercharger. Nitrous? bottle refills gets expensive though and run out at the wrong time.

Some used GT40P $350
New head bolts $50
New valve springs $80
Roller rockers $150
Cam $200
New chain and sproket $50
Used intake $175
Head gaskets $50
Intake gaskets $22
Anti-freeze $24
$1,151 for maybe 30 HP

I'm sure that you can find a used supercharger kit maybe on eBay for not much more money and maybe 110 Hp more.
