Is there any one out there who has a built up 5s? like all motor, no turbo, no super, just all motor? I know there was that one guy who put the ITBS and the SAFC on his, and didnt produce any thing special, but is there any good built 5s? Im thinking of building up mine. Doing a full port and polish job on the head, using either an F-Con or a SAFC2, use my headers i have now, make a full 1 peice cold air, and then im still deciding on what i wanna do for the lower end. Im just curious to see what some one else is doing with regards to this.

i know the oem heads cant handel hp, or high rpm. ive blown 2 up already. Hense why im gonna get mine blue printed. Like if i do this, im gonna go with completely re-seated valves, new valve guides, valves, springs, etc. Maybe see if can get some one to make me up/find somethin that fits for a cam gear, or just change the timing my self. Like this would be an extensive project

yeah, if you are gonna go at it like that i would look at eBay and see if you cant find a built 3SGTE head.....might be cheaper, i know i have seen some in the past on there that were 9000+ rpm & 800hp supported, might be interresting to look at....
