John did make a good suggestion, by bringing up the Thumper heads. Another reputable set of E7TE based CNC heads are the "CNC Power Heads." Both these and the thumpers are a viable option for those looking to stay under $800 for a set of fully assembled heads. The Power Heads out flow stock GT-40P's. As such, they are a viable option. The only reason I went with the GT-40P's, is that I acquired the pair(newly rebuilt) for $320. Had that deal not come along, I would have gotten the CNC power heads. To get a set of GT-40P's to flow that well, you would be up to the expense of a set of reputable aluminum castings. You are right, that most mediocre sets of aluminum heads will out perform cast iron ported E7's- though the E7's certainly have a place in the market when you address the bang-for-the-buck factor. Though, I guess, when I built my combo, I was a poor college student. At that time, a couple hundred dollars in price difference was a great deal.

Welcome i would say like the rest have H/C/I and maybe a set of 4.10's or 3.73's. I would check into the thumper heads they are fully worked over and run about $600 or so plus you need rockers (like alum. heads), these are E7's cast heads and arent alum. but they flow preaty damn close if not better then some aftermarket alum and steel heads and for 1/2 the cost? I will find the site and post the link here for ya. They are able to run in the mid 12's with these heads, and a buddy of mine has GT40P's i beleive and he runs low 12's! But it's up to you and your pockets. If i remember right you should have forged internals or atleast the pistons are??? Right guy's??? So as far as a shot of juice i would say you could get away with a 150 shot with a bigger fuel pump, i'm running a 125 shot in my 95 (but havent hit it yet) do to the tune and now the weather. Another thing you might want to check into is a chip But yes your bolt ons will help alot! Cory (SALEENSTER) has a set of under drives for sale or atleast he did? He is very trusting and an honest guy on here unlike some others but you'll get to know who they are. If ya need any welding done and the shops are to full let me know. peace


Tks John. I have a few items that can make somebody some power. Cold air kit, 75mm Pro-M meter along with some 24's. I also have an underdrive pulley set. Items are in sig.

Welcome to the great northwest.

E-7's are decent, but if you want to make power down the road, its better to upgrade to a better performing head then spend any $$ on work for port/valve increase on the E-7's.
