The Thumper E7's will make more power but you probally can get the GT40 irons cheaper.

ported e7te's are cooler, probably make more power with thumpers, and then the motor looks stock............."sure its stock"

What about Thumper's vs. ported GT40's? I have a set laying around that I want to port & use.... but if the Thumper's will still make more power, I might consider that.

Depends on the port work. Thumper460 is an old school guy that really knows things about how to port a head right. I had Thumper E7's, and was very impressed with them.

ported gt40 > ported e7...he'll do the 40's too.

You can also get fully assembled gt40p's with 5 angle valve job for $450.....I don't know how those compare to thumpers...

The original question wasn't ported GT40's vs. ported E7's. The question was Iron Cobra GT40's.....in that case the Thumper's are way better.

A few years ago I was thinking about getting Thumper's heads. I see now that he has combos with a cam as well. Thats good stuff. If I end up keeping my car I might be giving thumper a call.
