Now how did I know you'd come and post in this thread? That windsheild banner is just a wee bit innacurate now though, no? Maybe you should change it to "Mustang 7.6"...

I mean it will make more power..The steel head holds heat better,heat builds pressure,therefore increasing compression,a full point over the aluminum..

For example lets say a car,,engine with 12:1 compression,the steel heads will actually trick the motor by holding heat in the chamber,while aluminum will lose a point because it doesnt hold heat..
