They flow 240 CFM which is higher then a stock set of 03/04 cobra heads which flow 233cfm.

Hate to hijack a thread, but since y'all are discussing it anyway, here goes. My dad just bought a 97 GT for a little d.d. Should he have opted for a 99+? IDK jack about a mustang, other than the 99s make more power. Is it just the heads that are different? soembody give me some info on this if you can. . . Thanks.

Okay enough with the 2-valve crap please. I think this Kevin guy is probably the only one who really cares. You'll never sell any of us in here on that two valve stuff. My advice to anyone looking to purchase a modular Mustang in the near future: go 4-valve or nothing at all!

Indeed.
The last 2v was made in 2004 I believe. Regardless, not a decade too late for me. Right on time for me
I have 3rd party chrome rims, and I am about to lower it 1.5 or so Inches. Other than that, That's all the visual mods I will probably do. Add the twisted head wedges, there are going to be a lot of pissy stock f-body (there are a lot around) owners accusing me of having boost this summer. I've seen 2vs with these heads. It looks pretty much stock. Ultimate sleeper NewEdge. The year after I might supercharge it. I bought the GT knowing these heads were coming out.
I take it you have a GTO now. You keeping it? (I would)

As far as those heads compared to stock LS1 heads I don't know. But I do know about LS2 heads, which stock flow around 275cfm and are a direct fit onto a LS1, not to mention a cheap (under $500 which includes the better GTO/LS6 intake manifold). But if the Fbody stays with stock heads/cam, the 'stang with those heads and cams should be a good race for it. Guess if you already have a 2 valve stang it's cheaper than selling it and buying a camaro?

Fbodies are cheap these days. Decent ones can be had for $6k. I don't know how much Mustangs go for these days, but I know a Mustang with similar miles, and in similar condition to a 6k Fbody is not going to cost 1k.
The average 4th gen you see rolling around is going to be worth 6-8k. There are some low mileage ones that are worth more, but these cars are getting old, and most of them have some miles on them.
I might believe you if we were talking about very low mileage Mustangs and Fbodies.

They are still new though. IMO, more RL experience needs to be had with them. I do agree that they will Compete with the LS's, but $$$ will then come into the equation.
With the modular motors, the heads were always the crappy part about the engine. Before Ford slightly improved them in 99, they sucked even worse.
These heads finally do the car justice. But like someone said, a little bit late in the game. Having said that, my 2002 GT is practically brand new. And I paid 15k less than a new one cost.
I am not going to do TOO much to it. I eventually want a new 5.0 when they come out. Thats some serious HP, and finally a decent contender for the new Camaro.
