[QUOTE="96CynRnr, post: 578758, member: 6354"] I have the 96 Cobra and just got it back from porting and polishing the heads... my oh my ... what a WONDERFUL DAY! I can say this... it used to pull like a truck in first and second gear... felt like the rear tires were gonna end up in the back seat. Now it pulls like a frieght train... I could swear that redline should be optional now, it will run right into the cut off if you let it. (I haven't done that yet but that's what they tell me.) Before the heads were done, mild shifting (read no speed shifting but quick shifts) would get tire chirps into 2nd. Now same shift gets the read end a little sideways. I haven't put on a new exhaust yet, it has to be a part of the Griggs Suspension setup for the headers and KFrame to mesh properly so that's next so you will see even more gain if you already have a better exhaust. I would recommend one thing, make sure you change out the timing chain tensioners on your car while you have the motor out, it's about 300 bucks for the updated ones. They had some problems with the tensioners loosing tension and allowing the chains to hop teath. That's bad... I know cause one tooth hop cost me $4200 in head repairs... but they are ported and polished now... my oh my what a wonderful day! :) :burnout: /darin [/QUOTE]
