Highly modded N/A 4.6 GT owners

Thanks for the info guys.

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. 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. Personally, I just think the FR parts are better for performance and for convenience..just pop it in and forget it. I'm disappointed to hear about your experience with the SHM cam. 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.

Boost or juice are out of the question just because I want this car to last another 20+ years.

Hammer, what heads and intake combo are you using?

Tieburner (wicked name man), you're right on the money about the pistons...I'll let my engine builer know about the forged dished pistons. I made a mistake about the shorty's...bought them already. :-(

Cheers guys and have a fun and safe St. Paddy's day. Green beer!!!
