I would ditch those afr's unless your dead set on them. Trick flows would really help that thing out.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

For what reason exactly? I'd prefer the AFR's (165 or 185 depending on displacement) due to much increased efficiency and a wide torque curve.

I didn't realize it mentioned 347 in a title in one of your posts - perfect head for that combo. Do you mention cam somewhere on this site? A 347 with decent parts is about as good a combination one can have in a stock block since it already approaches the limits of the casting. No forced induction needed there! I'm sure the intake is a little limiting though.

I think the trick flow can have higher peak numbers though due to the insanely large valves for most setups.

the cam is e303 ford racing, good cam, i chose the gt40 intake for its looks and its way better than the stock intake. roller rockers, this motor =has serious horse power. all naturally aspritated just like my ass
