Im looking to get heads for my 03 GT, but I here so many bad things about Patriot heads and Im sure MPH heads are good. What kind of power gains should I look for with heads and cams if MPH tuned it? Is at least 70rwhp feasable? Does anyone have any before and after Hp numbers?

if you go with MPH stage 3's you have no choice but to let MPH tune it, in fact you have to ship your car to them. the stage 3's have to be installed by mph.

the 2.5 mph's you can install yourself or have it installed locally.

Tim doesn't let the Stage 3's out of the shop. For a street car the Stage 2.5's are more then enough.

Tim has made 600+ on unported heads and the factory intake with a blower. My guess would be 80-100hp with the 2.5 heads and cams with a good tune.

If you know the right person, you can get the heads out of the shop-but 99.99% of the time you can't.

VTengines, Steen Racing and Fox Lake are some other good options for P&P Heads/Cams

I don't know who you would know besides Tim and Andy. They are the only ones involved with anything like that now.

80-100 HP with 2.5 heads and cams? Man that sounds pretty appealing. Although not quite as HP efficient as a blower for the dollar, still damn good, and still N/A (I bet it would sound badass as well)

That is, if those numbers are correct

I think that estimate is high....real gains would be more like 40-50 hp with Cams/Heads depending on other mods.
