5.0 head and cam combinations????

[SVT5.0]

Hey, I'm new to this site and totally new to posting on forums...everyone has to start sometime I guess!
I am looking for info/opinions on 5.0L head/cam combinations. I have a 95 cobra and I am looking to upgrade. I am leaning toward a pair of twisted wedge heads with 2.02/1.60 valves, and a ford b-cam. It needs to be drivable, but I don't care about gas milage...I want the most power I can get and, of course, A nice lopey idle. Any suggestions? Also what else needs to be upgraded when a new cam and heads are installed? The cobras already have a 65mm throtle body and 24lb injectors, what else might I need?

Thanks so much!!!!!

that would likely work well, given that you have the cobra 1.7 rockers. you may even get by wit the the tfs stage one cam. i have that cam and head combo with 1.6 rockers and it's sounds deadly, and goes good too. if you opt for the trickflow cam you will have to check piston to valve clearance.

Just my opinion...
If you can save up a couple more dollars, get the whole Trick Flow top end kit.

Trick Flow kit

Comes with everything you need and it's a well matched combo.

I was think of doing the Anderson Ford Motor Sports top end kit that Dynoed 321RWHP thats pretty good for a top end kit and Anderson is know for having very good off the shelf Cams. I would lean toward TFS on the heads I just dont like the look of their Intake manifolds.

That'd work too.

I just think that heads, cam and intake should be matched. One by itself doesn't do much, and can even hurt performance. But when the combo is matched, it's a beautiful thing...

Hey man - you are looking at my exact combo. Only difference being I have a Cobra intake ported by Tmoss. It gets dyno tuned May 1st - I'll post results then.

Holy cow GT_Rich...No kidding exact combo! I was kinda planning on TW heads, a B-303, 1.7 RR's, my stock cobra intake, 24lb injectors, and some headers. You have absolutely got to tell me how you like it and what you dyno results are!!!!!!!!
