Why dont you save more or settle for less powerYou will soon learn the word "budget" and modifying these cars doesn't belong in the same sentence.You got a list with prices. At 350 probably allow $800 for valve springs.What is your budget 5K, 10K 15K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends what piece of mind you want I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen over 400rwkw on my car and no issue with the valve springs as per tuner.If you are going to do them look at cams at the same time, particularly if you are planning on a tune. Under'rated gains to be had with cams and probably also porting the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRK Member 361 Member For: 13y 1m 16d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 14/12/14 02:38 AM Share Posted 14/12/14 02:38 AM Mersin, you are getting way ahead of yourself here. The advice above is all pretty good but it does come down to bux and just how fast you want to go. Think about this. At 320rwkw in a BF, Stever above has run a sub 12 and 190+ at the drags. He ran that in Race Wars in WA....... 222 Kmhr in 800M and that means speed limiter in under one kilometre. To put that into perspective: BMW M5, AMG C63, Turbo Porsche, BMW M3, Dodge Viper............ All Toast.The Turbo Ford is about controlled boost, fuel delivery, cool intake charge and enough exhaust system to match power requirements without cabin boom/drone.At 170K's. Fuel Pump and Valve Springs have gotta go. They are aged components and consummables given where you want to go power wise.. Best possible intercooler / injectors and plenty of quality choices there along with enough information on the forum about fit and results to assist us all. Stock exhaust will just about do it. Dump/cat........... do that. But the tuner.......... talk to him first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throw In more boost.Valve springs should be done if you run into float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
