Help with head cams and manifold mods

[shindle29]

I am thinking about doing a full heads cams and manifold swap on my 2000 GT. Anyone done those mods? Dyno tune? I have a steeda CAI installed and 78mm BBK throttle intake and flowmaster Cat-Back

I had ported heads, comp 270 cams, pi manifold, trick flow plenum, frpp throttle body, duff daddy awesome custom cai... and a few other little things and I made 304/300

A very popular set of mods man, i currently drive the almost exact same setup as duff daddy and its a blast

Dyno tune will be your best bet

Thanks for the input guys. My GT is a 2000. I know there was a step up in HP from the 96-98s but after all that modding does it make a difference in the final HP output? Im thinking about buying underdrive pulleys next. Free up some horses before really getting my hands dirty. Seems like an easy mod to get some good bang for your buck. Any facts, suggestions or opinions on any of this stuff?

dont waste your money on the pulleys, they put more stress on your alternator, etc. the power gained is not worth the heartache.

Your PI intake is a huge help to the benefit of the cams and ported heads. what are you looking to spend? whats your power goal, etc.

The steeda pullies wont put stress on the motor, steeda actually worked with Ford to build them. Any piggyback style pulley gives headaches that you dont want, but the steeda units spin true and give a good amount of power. Part of my list of upgrades when I do my top end build.
