as long as the stock motor runs good, it will be good. Checking the compression is a great idea also.

I love my HCI motor. Fast as hell and strong. I had GREAT customer service as well. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
edit: Oh, and speakin' of compression, mine are all above 170 psi...my stock motor had around 150 in all 8.

He means Heads/Cam/Intake...not HCI motorsports. He is also talking about 5.0 not a 4.6.

if the comp checks good and the motor runs strong why not slap on an s-trim, its cheaper then doing h/c/i
