Although I see your point, I think it's much more likely that the OP just forgot the brand of heads that the guy told him, or the guy was lying to him because he didn't know what he was talking about, or take your pick of a million other realistic options. I find that it's more often the owner of the car that lies about the mods moreso than the person who raced it. The person who raced it typically just lies about the outcome of the race as opposed to what was done to the cars. Just a thought.

I've owned a few mustangs, 97 cobra, 91 5.0, ive never seen trickflow heads or cams for the 99-04 mustangs???? the mustang more than likely just had full exhaust and bolt-ons , maybe gears, but highly doubtful on the h/c/I setup.

he could have been talking about the trick flo intake and the guy just could have said heads in the same sentece. My brother has a intake that say trick flow all over it. He prolly had diffrent heads and just did understand what was said.

So we go out to the spot n he wanted a 20 roll so thats pretty good for me so we line up n i honk it off we r dead even through 1st cause we where both spinning pretty badly n as soon as we hit second we are still neck n neck n i was surprised cause the way he was acting before the race. It all changed one i hit 3rd though. I started to pull pretty hard n when i hit fourth i was a car ahead n once in fouth i proceed to put about 2 more on him. So from about 20 till bout 110 or 120 i had bout 3 or so on him. I was really surprised lol. I just glad i got to take another mustang down lol. Thanx for reading n sorry it was so long
Good kill, sounds like whatever his setup was it wasn't running bad at all. What's your setup? Any sort of decent h/c/i 4.6 with supporting bolt-ons is gonna be in the 320-330rwhp range, so it's not gonna be a slouch.

Oh sorry guys i forgot to put it in there. I have a 99 Z28 m6 with a catback n lid. the kid that drove the car told me that they where trickflow heads. I figured that they made them? Idk though. Those 2v gts are not very fast from what ive seen n NO its not made up. i think the ford guys r just mad cause there 2v motors blow lol jk

He might have been wrong bout the head brand but thats what he told me. Its his g/f car n thats what she told him n hes a friend of mine so i dnt think that he would have lied to me.

I don't think you'll get much arguement about 2v motors not being that good. Compared to the 4 valve or even the 3 valve its a turd.

Yeah they're not exactly "impressive," but a decent h/c/i 2v 4.6 is gonna run pretty damn good. Not as good as a h/c/i LS1 (or 3v/4v), but still no slouch. I'm surprised you pulled him like you did, but **** happens. Tell her to put some 4.10s in that biotch
