looking at heads.....

[MI95Cobra]

let me start from the begining....my wife and i have made an agreement that our next bonuses from work, we'll get a set amount(depending the size of our raises) into a saving account for each of us....that way we can save a little from each check....me, i plan on buying mods for my car....her she plans on lasik and a boob job ....well anyway i'm been looking at heads and cams...i'm thinking of a cam with atleast a .498" to a .512" lift like an e303 or a crane cam and a set of heads that will accept pedestal mount rocker arms, but give significant horsepower....i have found:
edlebrock heads EDL-60399
gt40 x turbo-swirl aluminum

any suggestions????

lol, i think your savings account should go to your wifes upgrades first, then the car. How many countless hours are you gonna play with those???

That's all I got to say about that.

The gt40x's are an excellent choice if you port them and the cam would match decently.

I would go with the performers personally and a cam meant for those heads. I am sure they have an intended cam for those heads.

As long as you get the x's in aluminum. Forget about the p's or whatever. waste of time IMHO.

You have GT40 iron heads on your car right now. You can sell those to fund the new stuff. I believe you can get AFR 165's in pedestal mount if you needed. I'd get that and a custom Ed Curtis cam. This route seems to be a combo that makes great power. The Cobra fuel system can handle this just fine right now (maybe change the fuel pump). Slap long tube headers on. Get a tuning device and your all set.

thanks vibrantredgt....i like the positive feedback that i'm getting....how much hp will afr heads give me and how much do they generally run????

The afr heads with matching valve springs for a custom cam can you run around $1450 for the heads alone.

Sell the car, give the $$ to your wife... Then save and buy another car...

As far as heads go I would also say AFR 165 if you plan to stay N/A, otherwise you may want to think about the 185s...

i think i'll still work on both...especially hers...
