absolutely to all of the above. you can always take the heads to have them reworked later, but personally I think that with a custom cam and a bigger intake you are going to love the results.

Would be fun, but $3000 is ALOT for minimal boost pressures....remember street car=pump gas.
100% sure on needing a new intake...leaning towards TFS R intake, custom cam
I have some decisions to make regarding heads. If I left the heads alone (lot less work + $) do you think there is alot of power to be made with better intake and custom cam? Maybe bigger 80mm MAF + 36lb injectors?
I get asked if I am him all the time. I looked him up out of curiosity and he seems to do really good work. I have always had good dealings with Jay Allen, and everyone speaks very highly of Buddy Rawls.
Call Jay Allen at Camshaft Innovations and tell him what you want. Those heads will work great ported, and with a good intake and custom solid roller the thing will drive fine and absolutely rip. I'm telling you, this is the guy to call, end of story. Don't believe all this "streetable low-end torque" bull ****. The cam is what's going to make or break the combo, and if it's done right the combo will really work. Even with big heads and a crazy intake.Why does everyone keep telling him to get AFR's????
No idea
He has victor Jr's on the car. Those heads with a good port job are way better than AFR's.
YES!
If i was you, this is what i would do.
Pull the Victor Heads, send them to fox lake, edelbrock(i think they offer porting now), or any other competetive CNC porter and get them fully ported.
Agree. Or TEA
Sell that GT40 and get a TFS r-series.
Agree
And upgrade the valvetrain and get a custom cam. If it was me i'd put a solid roller in, but alot of people are scurred of them, a hydraulic with the proper valvetrain will make plenty of power.
Also port match whatever intake you buy.
With all this you should have a well matched street engine and i dont see why it wouldnt make an easy 400RWHP on a bady day
No offense, nothing personal, but you're living off and preaching hear-say and old wivestales. It's all bull ****. My buddy's high compression 408 with 225cc heads and a nearly .700" lift custom solid roller with a super victor intake drives fine on the street. He only spins it to 6500 and it rips off the bottom harder than you can even imagine.Thread states street car motor sounds like u want to build him a nice track engine and spend a ton of money with all that porting from fox lake and not have great street manners?, im not saying your plans not gonna make more HP in the end. Im saying if hes looking for a great street motor then selling his vic jr getting some afr 205s with a good custom grind cam and a SCT II tune will be more streetable then the setup ur talking about. Yeah GT 40 upper and lower is questionable sizewise but so was my cobra, i had more than a few on forums telling me my engine wasn't gonna put down 300RWHP on the dyno in the end my untouched chinese cobra intake made 382RWHP and 404RWT before weather correction on a mustang dyno way more than alot guessed and all of my power comes on before 5500RPMs car idles and drives great with tons of street power amazing torque. Your idea would probably make more HP and do a better ET, my idea would cost a lot less and be better on the street.......... people are saying AFRs from seeing how many people run them at track and on the street with great results
LMAO!!! i new it woudn't take long before half of new england rang in...................so the word is everybody out there with 331 347 351 357 sell your GT40 intake for a vic jr for your street car

i just port matched a vic jr and put it on my buddies fox, 35x cubes, small cam, ported world heads, from a torker II to the vic jr, WAS A HUGE ASS DIFF!! he lost no low end tq, it pulls to 6500 so fast its unbelieveable.. easily 25hp
so why would he put bigger heads with the same small ass intake? thats the dumbest **** ive heard in a while...
oh sorry your awesomeness!!
you make no sense, how many 302/351's have you put together? Ive prolly only put 10 together, but guess what? every single engine picked up hp with a bigger a intake mani than a crap ass gt40 setup..
the op said he's not dd'ing the car, so why would he only want to rev the engine to 5k he has 20 more c.i. than you do, therefore requiring more cfm!! Im sure if he wanted a truck engine he would have a 460 in it...
to the o.p. get a vic jr and port match it, it WILL pull a **** load better than a gt40..
you nailed it, not a dyno bragging guy. Like driving to car shows, cruises, an occassional trip here and there which means I spend most of my time between 2000 and 5000 rpms.

5L intake shootout
Rick Anderson makes a real deal about no bs being reported on the dyno numbers.
Not going to read the bickering but I will say that everyone in "Five Oh Land" seems to worry about low end torque. These cars make a ton of torque and don't need "small" parts to make power/torque. Everyone wants to buy long runner intakes because they want to keep "torque". That's why the Chevy LS engines run so good, they don't make the low end but they make power where it counts.
IMO everyone seems to worry about using "big" parts on these cars. Use the big stuff and have it where it counts, just like 90lxcoupes car, perfect example.
BTW, like I said I didn't read the above posts too much because of the bickering so I'm not siding with anyone on this post, just throwing my two pennies in.
-Edit-
I worded that so it made no sense, nice. Oh well, screw you guys...turbo for life.
You're not too far away. Why don't we meet up with our wallets and put that gt40 to the test? Stock 302 with an ots hyd. roller.. But my intake might be too big....LMAO!!! i new it woudn't take long before half of new england rang in...................so the word is everybody out there with 331 347 351 357 sell your GT40 intake for a vic jr for your street car

My stang pulls like a 408ci and in the end i still ended up with pretty big #s on the dyno with some say small parts
Dyno numbers... I know a few cars that look slow on the dyno, not so slow in the real world.
