Heads, LSX, or Spray Trying to figure out what i should do with my car next, which would be the safest way to go. my mods include
Lid/K&N
Jantzer Ported TB
Pacesseter LTs
ORY
FAST LSX 78mm Man.
Pulley
3.73s
FMS F14 Cam
PRC Kit
Built Midwest 3600.
Should I change out the LSX for the 90/90 setup and sell my lsx and tb.
Or should i just buy heads and keep the tb and small lsx.
Or should i just spray it?
this is a semi daily driver. Im goin to college so it will pretty much sit in the garage for most the week and drive on the weekends.
I can do any of these here in the next month or 2 but it will probably be my last mod for awhile, because im going to school and not gunna have a job.

well...fast w/90mm would net you 15-18 hp $1,200ish
afr heads will net you near 40hp $2,000-2,300ish
a t.n.t-nx kit would run $700-900 and gain you near 90hp for 100 jet and 120-130hp for 150 jet.
best bang for the buck is the spray.

thats not a bad deal brent. I just bought a PRC Dual Kit. For my F14.
What would you expect me to be at power wise with, the 5.3 heads. From what i have now.. Im hoping for 390 with this cam. Heads could be anywhere from 20-40 and i have heard good things from the 5.3 stage 1.5s.

I will be doing heads as well in the next month or so.

Which is the best for the money? that price of 1300 for some TEA heads is really good. I just want to know what gains i would see from those compared to say AFR 225s.

You can do it yourself by renting the flycutting tool, or you can have a shop do it for you. Just depends on your comfort level with working on your car, etc. I plan to do it myself.
