Someone I know has brand new trickflow heads and intake for sale cheap, will these work fine with a bone stock motor? How much hp gain would I gain?
Thinking of keeping my stock cam, If i keep the cam stock, would my drivibility and idle be the same? Would the gas mileage get worse?

My car is a 95 mustang gt with a built AOD

I would say Dont bother doing just heads and intake, unless your going to do bolt ons intake exaust,fuel pump , injectors mass air, tune etc. if not prob a 30-50hp gain, now if you did all Like I stated your looking @ a 100rwhp gain easy, usually stock the autos dyno around 170-180rwhp, you could see low as 230-270rwhp with stock cam , or as high as 270-300rwhp, if your going to do it right and do a cam and headers, exaust, and your going to be useing more fuel so I would deff suggest a fuel pump and injectors and matching maf and A dyno tune so you wont lose mpg and gain more power and see a nice 100rwhp+ gain.

No add another 10% for a 5 speed manual being autos lose more power drivetrain loss vs a manual.

I'm already planning on doing injectors since two of mine are bad...and rebuilding the rear with 4.10's, and I already have a flowmaster exhaust system.....
Which size injectors would be best?

24 or 30lb injectors are perfect for 300-400hp n/a motor. the stock 19's are no good after 300hp.


24lb injectors will be fine for your setup and guess what your in luck lol I upgraded to 30lb injectors I have a set of low mileage 24lb ford racing injectors for sale let me know if you want them!!
