How big of a difference between aluminum vs cast iron heads on a set up like this one. Just curious.

A good set of aluminum heads on a fox 5.0L, even with the little E303 cam (220/220, .498/.498, 110lsa) can make a pretty significant different. The stock E7TE heads are absolute garbage and don't flow worth ****, approx. 160 in./110 ex. @.600 lift.

I'll give you a really good example now that I think of it. When I first bought my '89 notch foxbody with 5 speed trans back in March '00, it had 63k miles and ran great. Mods when bought were E303 cam, BBK shorty headers, MAC catless 2.5" H-pipe and MAC catback, MSD 6AL ignition, MSD 8.5 wires, BBK 70mm TB, BBK cold air intake, Centerforce clutch, timing gears and B&M Ripper shifter. With a good set of new radials it ran a best of 14.1 @ 100mph in 70* spring IL weather at Byron Dragway. My car also had the stock 2.73 gears at the time.

Point being, you will smoke your buddy's Mustang.

Well the Ford 8.8 differential housing in that Mustang is a decent piece. But the insides of that rearend is a different story, they're better off being recycled steel... Lol

You should have no problem whatsoever OP with those minimal mods. My '90 25th GT ran a best of 13.9x@99 with an E cam, Cobra upper/lower, SVO 70mm TB, 76mm MAF, AFM Power Pipe, March ram-air, SVO 24# injectors, Flowtech EQ-lnth shorties/H-pipe, ASP U/D Pulley, MSD plugs/wires, AFM chip, 3.73s, Lakewood SFC's/LCA's, BFG 275/40 Drag Radials..and I am sure there is some other little nick nacks im forgetting. This was with stock E7 heads.

Curious where were you running the car? Because that seems very slow with those mods.

Sacramento Raceway.

And I don't consider that slow at all for those mods. That's what 95% of the cam/full bolt-on/stock heads foxes run.

They're really not that quick without a good set of heads and intake etc..

I've had 7 of these cars, my last hatch with GT40's, small crane cam and performer intake with 3.73's,LT's and exhaust it went 13.2's at around 104 with a drag radial which of course is stock LS1 territory with less MPH. They can be suprising but yes, the stock heads/intake really suck.
BTW these cars unfortunately did to camaro back in the day like the new 5.0 does to camaros today.

Kinda funny in that last thread when he tried to make the statement that Fords needed aftermarket parts to be fast; I brought up the 351 Cleveland and the conversation ended
