got new heads

Snake · 08-20-2002, 11:49 PM

i just bought a new set heads, when i went to talk to the tech about putting my heads on, he said i might have to make some computer modifications because i got a supercharger on it, any idea of what i can do and how much will it cost?

**cobrabitn** · 08-21-2002, 11:04 AM

I'll refer you to Rob, otherwise I am one of those stupid people you are talking about...lol.

Black Snake · 08-21-2002, 10:58 PM

I need a little more information to go on. What all do you currently have done to your motor? Which motor? Car? Which heads?

Snake · 08-23-2002, 02:14 PM

95 cobra 5.0 liter, superchargered, headers, 65mm throttle body, crane cam ignition box with timing retard, headers, 2 chambered flowmasters.

my heads are trick flow twisted wedge aluminum heads, o-ringed for the fel-pro loc wire head gaskets

BOSSMAN · 08-23-2002, 07:48 PM

This may sound like a stupid question, but is your block o-ringed? If it is not you will have a leak.

Black Snake · 08-25-2002, 08:44 PM

With everything that you have on the car it would not be a bad idea to get a custom chip to help with your performance. It’s not required for your head install but it would help to maximize your horsepower potential. The ideal situation is to find a shop that will burn a custom chip while your car is on the dyno. That way your chip is tailored to your car, not based on prior history with cars with similar set-ups. Of course finding a good local tuner is not always so easy. Price is hard to judge. It all depends on who does the work, but it should be in the $300-$500 range.

Snake · 08-26-2002, 09:36 PM

thanks black snake, and bossman the block is not o-ringed, but the heads are.

BOSSMAN · 08-26-2002, 11:10 PM

I'm pretty sure you can not use them unless the block is o-ringed. I could be wrong but this is what I have been told.

94 White Snake · 08-27-2002, 06:44 AM

Snake,
I have a 1994 5.0 and have just been through installing a blower and heads. I have got about 800 miles with blower, heads and computer change. Give me a call if you want. 713-823-9273

And no the block does not have to be o ringed for the head gaskets you are going to us.

Snake · 08-27-2002, 11:45 PM

what kind of heads and blower combo are you using and was there anything special that you had to do?

Topless In Tex · 08-28-2002, 12:32 AM

The block does not have to be o-ringed. My heads are done, but my block isn't. I have had any problems, I have had this combination (o-ring) for a 1 1/2 yrs now.

Eric4Nitrous · 08-28-2002, 11:11 PM

First things first..No your block doesn't have to be o-ringed. your block isn't gonna leak if it's not o-ringed. Two..having a custom chip tailored to your motor will dramatically help you. I wish you good luck with this.

**cobrabitn** · 08-29-2002, 11:59 AM

Eric,

Those times.....OUCH! Awesome man!
