If your goals are 240-260 RWHP, then yes properly ported E7 heads can get you there. That's 12 sec strip otential power. Or, just credit card wip it with new heads.

Powerheads ports your stock heads for I think around $800 or so,
they claim to gain around 50 hp & torque.

You can gain maybe 75+ with an appropriately sized set of AFRs
(165's or 165's with comp porting from AFR) for $300+ more.

Your actual gains depend a lot on the rest of the combo.

I have 160,000 Km on a 95 5.0. The car still runs strong should i go with the track heat Trickflow kit (Intake Heads Cam) for $3500Can or just save for a new engine? 351 maybe. Money is definatley an issue so what would be the best bang?

Oh yeah what kind of hp would i get if i just did the heads and cam?
