well i have been looking around for a nice set of heads and i cant make up my mind. i would like to just buy a whole top end kit but i cant really find a good one by a good brand for a good price... i am not familiar with which heads i should get and what size and all that. anyone have any recommendations on which brands? i dont have much money so the cheaper (but still reliable) the better!!! thanks!

95/5.0 Long tube headers, xpipe, flowmasters, with dumps, 9mm plugg wires, msd cap and rotor, 70mm tb, trick flow intake manifold, under drive pullys, smog elim kit. summit coil, subframe connectors, summit double roller timing chain, and a cam not sure what for cam bc it was in the car when i purchesed it!
It comes with a billet oil fill tube that you have to install yourself into the valve cover. Just try to place it so that it is not right over top of a rocker, or it will likely leak oil (yes, I know this from experience ).
Also I can vouch for that kit, it has treated me well so far.

lol blaze stock valve covers work with that setup? kinda messy filling it at her next from the pcv hole lol! ?? cool kit though just seems like an oil leak on a header fire, prone idea they have
Well my car is probably not the best example of what this kit could actually do since one of my cylinders is shot and is showing only 42 psi compared to the rest at 115-120 psi with a compression test. But the best time I ran with my 7 cylinder stang was a 14.4 @ 98mph with a crappy 2.2 60ft on a 225 wide street tire at a really bad elevation of 2200 ft. above sea level so that hurts the time a little bit (not to mention I am probably not the greatest driver out there and I don't powershift the car in fear of a T5 in a million pieces). I am sure I could have taken the car down a few tenths with a set of drag radials at this same elevation.

I am fixing the motor this winter. I have a new Pro Bullet 331 stroker shortblock from DSS sitting in my garage and I am pulling the old motor out this weekend. I have huge plans for the car over the winter, it is going to be a totally different car next spring in both looks and performance, lots of work ahead.
