What is your application & goals for your motor? Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : Rickster ¯ Member # 962 posted                                 I want a very dependable mild street motor, with around 325HP. I figured a TFS or GT40 intake and after market exhaust along with those heads and an opened up mass air system....?Is there a better / cheaper way? I really like the TFS Twisted Wedge Street (from what I've heard) but it requires new pistons too, adding another $400.00 to the price of the heads. Any input/suggestions are most welcome!

Stock CNC ported units. Does anyone have experience with them.

The TW's don't need new pistons with most cams, but the Windsor's do (the Roush 200's are just reworked Windsor SR's) www.fordmuscle.com has a write up on the Roush heads if you want to search for it. Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : Rickster ¯ Member # 962 posted                                 I was thinking of just staying with the stock cam...or possibly an E303 later? My goal of 325HP was RWHP...is that in line with the mods I am planning? (AODE w/ Transgo shift kit, A+ servo and 2" OD belt). So if I stayed with the stock\E303 cam (and stock 1.6 lifters) the TFS TW's don't need special pistons?...KILLER! the Powerheads look a little spendy for just stock ported heads.....or am I missing something? What do you think the RWHP would be for GT40 irons, GT40 intake and exhaust with opened up mass air and 24 lb injectors? -------------------- 1965 ACCobra Replica (FFR MKll) w/ 1992 LX convert. running gear Planning ahead for that midlife crissis!
