Is porting 5.4 ford gt heads worth it ?

[tomshaze]

I habe a 2012 Shelby

And I broke the engine anyways

I habe te heads off and sent them to l&m to get a fresh valve job and new intake valves they all bent I'm going with a stock valve again I BELIVE there pretty strong


I'm upgrading to ford gt cams from the 2005 or 2013 Shelby

I run a Whipple 4.5

And I'm looking for a max street drivable car for every day driving that will only drink 93 octane nothing else no race gas no e85

I do run meth also but only for safely margin not for making out


My point is is porting the heads for 1500 worth it for me

How much boost should I drop ?!

How much power will I gain at same boos level?

Does it affect low rpm drivability ?

I plan to run 18 psi

Yes! But needs to be done correctly. I have seen a lot of port jobs that have hurt performance.. Those are tricky heads..

Like 700 to the wheel but it wasn that it was the harmonic balancer bolt it got loose and the balancer wobbled and with the Whipple being so heavy it self distructed

Save the money on the porting....and.buy stage 3 cams instead and run more boost much better use of money...
