Everything I read about them is bad...You would think with 9.5 compression they would have some advantage.

If I put a bigger throttle body and better intake, will I otice as big of a gain as someone with a 87-88 Stang? Or are the '86 heads more restrictive?

Could I put a small turbo on this engine, or is the compression too high? Cuz I got a turbocharger thats just lying around.
