Looking good Dave. Nice work! I smell the start of another 400rwhp+ N/A 4.6 :rolling:

i have talked to several engine builders and they say taht porting and polishing our heads doesnt do much for the cars for the money you spend. Just my 2 cents

Maybe not, but every little bit counts. Look at cylinder head flow numbers before and after porting. You may not gain a bunch more cfm's, but you increase flow velocity and smoothness, plus get better flow over all. Too many people that own 03/04 Cobras are spoiled because they can get so much extra power from just a blower swap. I think you will start seeing a lot of people touching the heads, just like many are starting too with the cams. There really isn't much to do after you swap blowers.
Many people also say headers are not worth it for these cars, do you believe that?

Good point, it really just depends where you are in the modding process to determine whether one of the more "extreme" mods are worth it. If you haven't done CAI and exhaust why do the blower swap... Hey I think I get it lol.
Well I am not forced induction this is a n/a-n20 motor so heads is a must.. The car however will make 700 rwhp I am sure.. 40- 50 rwhp gains can be made no problem on a good set of mild ported heads I do not see how that would not be a priority.. Here is a famous quote from one of the worlds best cylinder head porter/Engine builders "cylinder heads may not rate a high priority as far as the master plan of the universe is concerned. But if your goal is to build a high-output motor for the street or track,Then they certainly must move to the number one spot.. David Vizard

Well put and I agree with you 100%. I think they are even important for a forced induction street car. Good luck with your engine build up!

i talked to TIM at modularpowerhouse and he said that it costs more money than what it is worth.
Free for me lol...That sucks I know a percentage of the fastest mod cars in the world have ported heads except our own JimsSvt who has gone faster on a stock 98 N/A longblock then most guys with built motor and blowers, cant forget factory stock guys either ..Again this is not your typical kenne bell 03 cobra motor this is a N/A motor
