Alright so heres my dilemma... my Mustang has the basic bolt ons and goodies (long tubes, high flow cats, flowmaster, bigger TB and plenum, CAI, short throw shifter, 3.90 gears, MGW shifter, and a tune). It runs good, sounds good, and is fun but it needs a little more if ya know what I mean.
I have heard some HP is choked up in the heads due to restricted flow and with some larger intake chambers and valves you can get some back. Would it be worth it to get the heads done (a local shop can increase my intake size with larger valves for $500) and put it back together with my stock cams? Also if I were to not change the cams and I mark the position on the cam sprockets and timing chain in multiple locations (both top and bottom) do I need to degree the cams when reinstalling the heads. I will be doing the wrenching (minus the headwork) myself. Thanks
