300hp

[i_love_my_stang]

i was wondering what i could all do to reach 300 hp, i dont want to change the heads though, i've done a full exhaust shorty equal length headers x pipe and flowmasters, pulleys and a msd, and a intake. im getting gears soon, prop 3.73 and i want to have about 300hp, maybe intake manifold new injectors and a tune? just wondering what you guys are running

on corral theres a turbo kit for $2000 and superchargers the same price, with out new heads and your mods not going to be 300hp

Exactly. One of the biggest Bottlenecks on our cars are the stock heads/intake. You wont get 300hp easily without doing heads...

Without changing the cylinder heads (or LOTS of work to your existing ones), you won't get 300 hp without a power adder. So pick your poison, blower, turbo, or nitrous.

even with an intake manifold i couldnt? if i do heads do they all come complete or do i need to change rollers, pushrods lifters etc i was looking at the edelbrock heads and it says i can keep the stock valve train, what valve size should i go with if im going to keep the stock internals.

also i was told dart heads are alright aswell and their cheaper

these are the dart ones i was looking at their about 200 a head cheaper but i know their not going to be as great as edelbrock, but i guess anythings an improvment.

if u want the most hp from some heads get afr

Nope. An intake manifold and every bolt-on in the book won't get you to 300 horsepower.

You could use your stock bottom end, but you'll need hardened pushrods, rockers, etc... If you want a nice complete kit, Summit sells "top end" kits by Trick Flow and Edelbrock that would get you a complete proven package. You could also go with any of the popular heads/cam/intake combinations discussed at length on this and other forums. For example, AFR 165s, Holley Systemax II intake, and a nice healthy camshaft.

the only thing about being up here in canada our stores dont stock much brands, specally in whistler we only have lordco and napa, and napa is usally not that great, from lordco i can only get edelbrock or dart i believe they stock holley aswell.

through a 125 shot on their. youll be fine!

if not get afr 185 cc heads, gt40 intake, custom cam, and full bolt ons and you should be in good shape at least you'll have about 270-285 hp and well over 300 tq....

 

[i_love_my_stang]

i was thinking of getting professional products upper and lower intakes, these dart heads look pretty decent and maybe a saleen or frpp cam, what kind of valve diameter do i want and lift so i dont mash the pistons

if your not going to spend the money you wont get there. Just buy a trickflow track heat top end kit and with a tune you should be there. Your going to spend around 3k

 

[i_love_my_stang]

hows edelbrock or holley?

 

[94 DropTop]

i would say the trickflows are better than eldelbrock. Just get a top end kit. The companies that you want to buy from up there are going to have a huge mark up on the stuff. just buy it from 50resto.com. trickflow kit comes with everything you need.

 

[i_love_my_stang]

humm ok i thought edelbrock was one of the best ones out their. so with heads what valve size should i go with?

 

[Paul]

Edelbrock makes a nice proven combination as well. A set of heads with 1.90/1.60 valves would be fine.

[i_love_my_stang]

cool ill do some more research, but right now im saving up money anyways, does any body have subframe connectors? is their any point to them, and if i get new heads intake etc, do i need to up grade my injectors?

 

[1quk50]

sub frames are good yes, xspecially with the added hp, and yes upgrade your injectors to 24 lb's or like 39's or something

 

[i_love_my_stang]

will the stock fuel pump work with 24lb injectors?

 

[Paul]

You'll want to swap your fuel pump out when you put heads/cam/intake on the car.
