Stock heads as in E6 Tbird or the E7 Stang?? Also depends on how much the heads were ported, just grinding out the bump in the exaust don't help much...

Is it auto or 5speed??? If auto torque converter stall???

I would say mid 14's, but turbocoupe5.0 will prolly be able to tell you closer.

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.

With good porting(a lot of work on E7s) you have the combo to go mid/upper 13s(more converter would be better, say 2800/3000). With lightly ported heads, low to mid 14s depending on traction. With a good set of heads and converter, low 13s would be easy...

Agree. Lets see, AOD, E7's, e cam and not knowing the gears you are looking at mid 14's. Your best bet is not to waste your money on the 1.7's if you are going to use the e cam. You will not gain anything with the extra lift on those heads. The .498" is just about perfect. If you really want to make your car move for what you have in the motor, put a higher stall around 3000 and some 4.10's. You then have a 13 second  car. Remember our cars are heavy and the AOD robs alot of power.
