Catch 22
|
Cylinder HeadsWith the exception of superchargers or nitrous, aftermarket cylinder heads will give your engine one of the biggest boosts for the money you'll spend. Most aftermarket aluminum heads are priced around $1,200 (for a complete pair) and they can offer as much as 30-60-horsepower increase in "out-of-the-box" trim. With the right cam, intake, and heads, an otherwise stock 5.0 short-block can make about 350-400 horsepower. When it comes to heads, bigger is not always better. We suggest that you start off with heads designed for the street, such as the Edelbrock Performer, Holley SysteMax, Ford GT-40X, or Brodix ST5.0. Another benefit of aluminum heads is that you'll shed about 40 lbs. from the nose of your pony. View Related Article
