I like going fast for the least amount of money.

$600+ bucks for ported stock castings is a 100% total waste of money IMO. I just can't justify in my mind spending that much money on STOCK heads when there are so many more options that will net you more performance for less money. Ask any hardcore stanger here and they'll tell you the same thing. (dark 5.0, fiveohpatrol, bos55 come to mind)

The money you save can be put towards other mods that will ultimatly make your car even faster.

If your gonna buy stock heads then talk to Jeff Chambers and get yourself a set of GT-40P heads and port them or have them ported. That will save you several hundred bucks .

Come take a ride in my mustang with ported stock heads and then tell me I wasted my money.
We are not all born with silver spoons in our mouths and can afford "Canfield" heads....oooohhhh

Before I built my engine, I had a goal in mind, bought the parts, assembled the engine(myself BTW) and ended up with a product that was much better than expected.
I say that's money well spent!!
Sorry dude but you kind of pissed me off when you started telling me how I wasted my money...blah blah blah
As far as buying a car from a "shady" used car person, how does anyone know he's shady until they get the car home and realize about a week later they bought a POS?
I'm happy with how my engine runs and the money I spent on it and that's all that really matters.

BTW.....I'd love to hear you tell they guy that builds those THUMPER heads that he's wasting his time with STOCK heads and tell all the people who bought his heads that they too also wasted their money.
Hell...while you're at it, you may as well tell TMOSS that he's wasting his time on STOCK lower intakes.
