    Rick, I see a 12-step program in your future. :coco:

    Those are nice heads, though. Blue Thunder makes good stuff.

    I guess this is what "speed density" really means. Speed is directly proportional to the density of your wallet.

    LOL!! That's about what I'll have to pay to get my mod motor running the way I want. Ford parts are freakin' expensive!!

    Cam kit - $1700
    Bare Heads - $1600
    Intake - $3,000 - $4,000

    Rick, PLEASE do some research on the Blue Thunder products.
    My racing team owner has a machine shop, mainly he ports heads and he is very good at what he does. He says that the Blue Thunder products aren't all that and doesn't sell that brand.
    What I do when I'm not sure on something is ask the biggest group of racers I know, THE MUSTANG BOYS. They have more then likely already been there and done that and are happy to share what they know.

    Good Luck on finding someone with the extra 5 G's just sittin around.

    As always just my .02

    I would also do some research on the Brodix Neal heads, they are on the same level and I see them on more Pro 5.0 cars and the like.

    I just thought the numbers were very impressive for small block heads...IF I was gonna plop down that kinda money on a set of heads I'd probably just let Bennett build me some Yates D3's and be done with it.
