Unit I take offence from you at at all I know my capabilitles and my limits. I a esentially a ford master tech 4 classes away baby. Im only 32. I started for ford at the age 0f 23 was an a tech by 26 making over 60grand. Do I have an ego yes. Do I spew it all aver and berate people no. I have learned from guys like you and from 16 year olds with new and good ideas. My whole point was that it is my belief that untimatly the GT-40 irons will make the most power in theend after all the porting is done said. Its just a better design. THe p's are and always will be a comprimise made by ford to promote good low velocity and torque. Yeah you can cam it right and gear it right and go 12's great. ANd yeah its a great street head. Nice low end punch I love it. Now toss in a b303 or x303 cam and spin that suka to 6000 grand with 4.10's 4.30's(don;t know why but people do. Your 1.45 exaust valve is gonna lose out all the time. Also waht is tha small valve gonna do when you use nitrous or a supercharger? Probably hold you back. (just my therory no facts here) P's to me are just fords way of emtying hte parts bins and making for money they got licky that they work sdo well thats all. The cobra gt-40s are even better smaller combustion chamber more compression. I guess untimatlity it all comes to needs, money expectations, opnion. At least we aint fighting over whats better Iroc's or mustangs. GOd I hatd that one. Peace be with you man. Your comments just made me go learn more. I gave up on heads and stuff and just bolted on a charger. I hope we can all agrees on "no replacement for didplacement" If I cant grow my 5.0 I'll just cram the air in then. Besides I am of the opinion now that spending 4K on a comeplet s/c set up and tuning it right is much more cost effective then? "what cam do I need waht heads? what throttle body? what shorty. Screw it. Force in 8# of boost and have fun!! Enjoy it! Oh and by the way I could of scored a set of port and polish GT-40 irons with 1.6 rockers for 400$ Research is a wonder full thing.
