Yeah I've been trying to look for a pair of gt40 3 bars... Best I could find was one on ebay... $295 american which'll ring around to 450-500 canadian after shipping. Plus the few hundred to port/freshen them up and what not. If I could find a pair $300 canadian id do itIf I had a $300 budget for heads I would get some Explorer heads and perhaps your buddy could freshen them up a bit. You wouldn't outgrow them as fast as E7s. Explorers and gears and you should be near your goal if you get any traction at all.
Yeah, I've heard you need specific headers for p heads?The P heads are in you pull it junkyards around here. I sold and shipped some Cobra heads last year. Shipping was scary.
Yes, the spark plug angle is different and the boots burn on the header. I wouldn't look for one specific set more than the other (3 bar GT40 vs. 4 bar GT40P) if you were to go that route.Yeah, I've heard you need specific headers for p heads?
I believe he went faster than 12.99. Secondly, they were drag radials, he just bought his first pair of slicks three weeks ago.There is a guy on here, Sharad, that got a stock 5spd 89 LX 5.0 with the goal of high 12's with minimal mods. He achieved a 12.99 with CAI, full exhaust, bumped timing, LCA's, and slicks. He's a really good driver and it took him several passes but finally got it. I believe there was a magazine article that documented the process.
Thank you for correcting me with hardly any facts at all.I believe he went faster than 12.99. Secondly, they were drag radials, he just bought his first pair of slicks three weeks ago.
Thirdly, dude can flat out drive.
Fourth, exactly what I keep saying. You could make 500hp, but if you can't put it to the ground it's useless.
Go home. You're drunkHow awesome would it be if somebody delivered taco's to your home? Whatever, I'll order Pizza it's good too!
Hey Bro! I am home! I have moved on from a couple, I think it's a few now. Who's coutning/?Go home. You're drunk
I actually did state facts, just not proof. I just remember reading the article just like you. Sorry if I came off as an jerk, just wanted the O.P. to know that 12's could be done in a street car with suspension mods! Thanks for helping me out!Thank you for correcting me with hardly any facts at all.
I went through the trouble of looking up the article from 08'. Here's the link with all the info.
1989 Ford Mustang LX - Fox Buildup
He went 12.91 @ 103.7 with Mickey drag radials, electric fan, NO A/C, NO P/S, NO smog pump, no sway bar, car had 3.73 gears, o/r H pipe, cat back dumped exaust, UPR control arms, MAC's Air Chamber mass air system and a 5k launch with a 1.69 second 60'. Maybe I missed a detail but hey I've had a couple drinks, read the article in the link. Have a good Sunday!

That is a good read. When I went 12's I had the factory original suspension, and zero weight removal. I did have long tube headers tho... and was running in 2600' d/a. I would hazard a guess that the car in the article has more potential with nothing but added seat time. That and some long tubes and more gear would make a great follow up article, but, they have probably moved on given it was 2008.
OP, you seem so set on the E cam... when you go through with this project do yourself a favour and get a hold of Buddy Rawls... custom cam guru that simply loves/works with stock, super stock and stock eliminator stuff... aka tiny factory iron heads making power. He has done 2 cams for me on E7 setups. First was a very street friendly stick that made 292rwhp using stock lifters, then a little more radical one making 336rwhp... not stock lifters.
I've always maintained that the cam is the brain of the engine, get that right and the rest will fall in place.
Runs absolutely fine, sounds great(motor, not just exhaust), timing is at 13 currently 87 octane fuel. Rad level is fine and spare tank is fine(hasn't moved) and I checked the dipstick, no bubbles. Hmm lean? Seems to be running rich, anyone who drives behind me smells gasoline lolCould be condensation. Check your oil for water though and the radiator level. And it could be running slightly lean. Put 93 octane in it and see if it still does it. What's your timing set at? Any other symptoms? Runs fine?
