i have a 84 thunderbird 5.0 that im finally ditching the cfi and doing a mini build on need to know the best heads to run and the best cam to use looking for the 200-225 hp range nothing major she isnt a race car haha i keep getting conflicting info from many diff sources some say i can run gt40s others say i cant because of no valve reliefs idk so leaving it in the hands of people that have more experience than me i also want a nice lumpy cam this cars idle leaves something to be desired
