    Just dropped my car off at Timmy's shop *pics and video added page 3*

    Just got back from dropping my car off at Rodeheaver's. It's getting a Crane 2031 cam, crane beehive valve springs, locks and retainers, Comp timing chain, and the cobra valve covers are getting powdercoated silver to match my intake. SOO excited, I can't wait to pick the car up next week.

    Once I get into a new job, I will allow myself to spend some of my tax return which equals a new set of heads. With the cam, heads, and a little porting on the intake, I should be at or above 300rwhp N/A

    p.s. I'm looking into a set of GT40X or Eddie performer heads, not a big believer in Trick Flow and I don't think AFR is worth the premium price.

    NICE!!!! What intake? I was running the Ed.Perf. RPM heads about 4 years ago. I gained 26 HP at the wheels from just swiching over to Trick Flow. (that was at the Carlisle dyno though).

    Should be fun!

    Were they the twisted wedge heads?

    it'll be a cobra intake, but with porting. I just like having the cobra intake on a cobra. How much does a used set of performer rpm's usually cost? I'm wanting to keep it somewhat low cost, nothing more than $800-900 for a used set.

    Oh and I have a camera that takes some pretty decent videos, so I'll bring it along with me when I go to pick the car up next week

    Yes, the TW heads. I do like the Edelbrocks thought. I have them on my big block car! I was running a Cobra intake at the time too. That combo was GREAT on the street!

    I try not to push my beliefs on anyone, but i like the trick flow high ports and nothing else but edelbrock, i have made so much power with edelbrock heads, they are what works for me, oh and Billy Glidden,
    2015 A6 Mustang GT that so far has gone 9.48@147 but still the fastest prochargerd S550 in the world aside from Tim Essick's!

    I will definitely be interested! The main problem I have with AFR is the price.

    even though Wick cut the line just kidding :D
