I wanted some feedback from my fellow ford owners on whats would be the best out of the box bolt on and go heads to get for a 347? I currently have ported edelbrock performers and wanna "step my game up" So lets see what you guys think.

Let me change it up a little. The best heads for a 347 that cost 1500 and under and that will bolt on with no real modifications. The fuel system I will be running will be 30lb injectors and a 255 fuel pump. The rest of my current mods are a x cam, longtubes, track heat intake, 70mm tb and catless xpipe. and if possble include exact model because tfs makes alot of different heads [Smile]

It really doesn't matter which heads you get if you cant drive. [Big Grin] Besides, you got a wayz to go before you catch me and lets not even think about John B! You'll never beat either one of use! [Roll Eyes] But no, get the 185's so it can be a close race... Oh, and some driving scillz.

Next time you think about talking shit,I suggest you take some english classes to step up your grammar skills. [Big Grin] I almost forgot every so often you post on here. But just so you know I have no intention of trying to beat you or John for that matter. I just want a "RELIABLE"! everyday semi quick street car. I guess you missed my thread about putting on a wet kit too huh? [Big Grin]

If you look at the fastest N/A EFI 347's on this site, you'll see that the best heads and bang for the buck for that matter, are Vic Jr's, hands down.

So because I was unwilling to launch my Cobra with its stock irs at 4500 rpm I cant drive? Thats cool then, I still got low 12s out of it and I know I can get more as it stands right now. Plus I have a/c, power windows, a nice system, comfy leather and suede seats and it starts up every time. Not to mention that I can drive it to and from the track as well as across the country if I like without worrying about getting stuck or my car overheating. [Wink] An another thing, If you are such a great driver John Force jr. then why did you tell me you mis-shifted your car when you got an AUTOMATIC! [Big Grin]

OK, ok, you win! But even though I shifted pass 2nd, to 3rd, my car still went faster than yours (both)ever will! "On that run" [burnout] [Big Grin] On a serious note, get the afr's. You'll be happy. Oh, and I will beat you know who, just wait! [Big Grin]

I think I will get either the Afr 185, trick flow R series 185 or the Trick Flow track heat heads. But I am leaning towards buying CNC ported versions rather than out of the box versions. I dont know as of yet. I need to fix a couple of other things on it and clean it up a little more too. I want my shit to look and run good too
