Hey all!

I currently own a CMC Cobra. It has a 5.0 Ford small block H.O. As of now, it has a Holly 650 CFM 4-barrel carb and Edelbrock intake.

This winter, I want me and my son to work on it more, get some more HP. So, I got some questions.

First, what would be th best cam for it. We plan on doing drag racing, but mostly street cruising (i.e about 70% of the time). Right now it has the roller cam stock with Mustangs. No worries about emissions or smog testing. I need something with a high redline, and good low end power, that doesn't slack off too much at higher RPMS. I use mainly 94-99 octane fuel. I also have Klotz fuel additive in it now. It also has to work well with stock heads.

That leads to my second question. Where can I find cheap heads. My wife doesn't want me spending more than 1200 for all this. So a 250 dollar cam and 250 dollar intake only leaves me with 700 or so. Any that cheap with performance improvements? I was looking at Edelbrock heads, but they are 540 a piece. Just a little too much.

Speaking of intakes...what would be the best? After all, heads and a new cam needs better breathing. The Edelbrock I have now isn't bad, but I'd like better.

Lastly, should I change the ocker arms or pushrods while I'm at it?

Also, lastly,
