SD Wheeler, I'm complacent about the 99+ PI heads because of the higher compression ratio compared to FR heads. I want to be able to keep my car for a long time-just as Mustang92 said.
Ok......don't like having 10.5:1 compression? With about another two hours of combustion chamber work I can lower the compression all the way down to 9.25:1. Simple.
Plus I don't like the idea of the oil cap getting in the way of the intake as is the case for 99+ heads.
That's why I designed my kit to utilize the '01/02 heads. Reuse your stock valve covers and no front cover bolt issues.
That said, check their website under dyno results and you will see an AUTO 4.6 with similar mods to mine and with 293 HP! I like how the SHM cam makes the HP rise steady with RPM. It will just keep wanting to go. I'll see how the cam is and I'll let you all know what my mods will give for numbers.
Yeah.......I just love how Sean uses FRPP heads and intake when he tests camshafts. Makes his cams look even better. Why doesn't he run tests with stock heads to get a REAL idea of how good the cams are. If you have similar mods......why are you worrying about which heads to run. That would mean you already have the heads. Try to get SHM to run their cams on stock headed 4.6 engines and see what happens. Good luck.
I'm not trying to sell anyone on anything. And if it sounds as if I have a problem with SHM then your dead on correct. The main reason I got back into the cylinder head/camshaft/engine business was due to the way Sean treated me at the 2001 Spring Break Shootout FFW race in Bradenton, Florida. I won't go into verbatim quotes here but it was something like.........."I am Sean Hyland..........you are human scum." Some people in the modular industry treat these engines as if they are a Black Art. They also charge people accordingly. I personally was sick and tired of it. I don't like it and I won't do it. Also, I will try at every turn to debunk the garbage that people try to use in justifying their ultra-high prices and snotty customer service attitudes. You have questions? I'll answer them all day long. Even if I don't end up with another customer, you will be well-informed. Information is knowledge. Knowledge is power. If you know the information then you can make your own decisions based on fact rather than propaganda.
