A new set of Trick Flow or Edelbrock heads will run you around $1000-$1100, cam will be between $130-$150. You will also need rockers, pushrods, timing set, and gaskets. Probably a few other smaller things. I would guess you should budget between $1700-$2000 just for the parts. I have no idea how much labor would be to install.<br /><br />Yes, you should go with bigger injectors/maf, fuel pump, and an adjustable fuel regulator. <br /><br />With all of this you should be putting out somewhere between 255-275 at the wheels. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,3,19,16,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by CALYPSO:<br /><strong> right on<br />I have a 93' motor in great cond.<br />Why won't the pulleys and maf/24# do anything? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The injectors won't gain you anything. You will see a few HP from the pulley's and maf but not enough to notice much of a difference. <br /><br />IMO swapping out the maf won't gain you enough HP to justify the money unless you plan on upgrading injectors to support HCI, blower, or NOS. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CALYPSO</b> <br /><small>Member # 3853</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,3,21,15,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> What's the best brand maf???<br />& what size is best for mildly modded motor? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,3,21,16,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> out of those future mods, the pulleys are the only thing that would give you power. a good 8-10 at the wheels too <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
