Question what should i get?

Ive got a 95 mustang gt and i was wondering if i should get some trick flow twisted wedge aluminum heads to add some good hp or get a nice set of rims?

If i went with the heads would there be a bunch of other shit i would have to buy too? Cuz i dont have alot of money

Thanx 4 your opinions

What mods do you have done to your car? There might be other areas you should address before swapping heads.

Those heads would be a much better addition over what's on there stock. But to just have TFS heads with stock intake, TB, MAF, etc., your kinda limiting your HP potential. With the TFS heads you would also have to get stud mount roller rockers, new head gaskets, new head bolts are recommended, and I think the TFS heads use a slightly longer pushrod.

Don't get me wrong those heads are great, but the 2.02 intake valves would be overkill if everything else is stock, and I don't think you would see that big of a gain.

I agree with HighFlow. Unless you are planning on a lot of parts to compliment those heads it's a bit of a waste. Also like he said don't forget all the extras you need just to get those heads on the car, they add up quick. If you still decide to get those heads take a look at AFR's heads they eat the TrickFlow's up.

IT totaly depends on how much you want to spend and what your intentions for the cars might be. If a fast car is what you want and you can swing the cost, those heads would be a good place to start. If you just want a looker and dont really care about performance, by all means go with the rims.

Intake manifold, After that before you put the heads on your gonna need bigger injectors, fuel pump, MAF calibrated for the bigger injectors, adjustable regualtor. If you don't ugrade your fuel system wit the heads and intake manifold you'll be running way too lean on the top end. After that Bigger throttle body, egr spacer. You should swap cams after all that is done. LOL what's that people like $1400+ not counting heads?

Damn it does add up fast, trust me. The worst part is its very addictive, almost like smoking. Once you start you can't stop. Then before you know it your girlfriend or wife is jealous over your damn car. She'll say "how come you don't spend that much money on me," "If you did as much work on me as you do to your car then.........................(you get the point.) Damn I hear that all the time. Oh and the best one, "if you could sleep with your car I bet you would."

Now seriously, I would start out by getting a larger TB, 65 mm, and a larger MAF meter, 70 or 75 mm. Then go the intake and heads route. It all really depends on what your trying to achieve with the car, and how fast you want to go. Will it be just a street car, race car, or show car? You kinda need a game plan when it comes to modifying a car.

Wow, I thought I was doing well now that my wife just doesnt Mind if I spend money on the car. And I usually have to break something first before I can buy new and improved parts.
