$600 no name ebay aluminum heads? Yeah....run far away. If you don't want to have to buy new headers, find a set of regular GT40s form a 96.

Honestly, I'd say either save up for some AFRs or Trick Flow Twisted Wedges if you want aluminum....$600 is a lot to spend only to find out you got screwed. If you don't want to spend that much of something name brand, then I'd stick to some GT40s until you start needing something that will flow more then them. I know of a guy who has an explorer 5.0 in his fox with 1.6 Scorpion RRs, a TFS 1 cam, Track Flow springs, and a stock Explorer intake and made somewhere between 295 and 300 hp.

if you have less than $1000.00 gt40 more than $1000.00 but some trickflows other any thing inbetween is a dice roll at best

The ProComp work ok but you are better off getting them bare if you do. The valve train is junk I heard. My cousin has them on his 311 and it moves out pretty good. But I'd get TFS or Edelbrock.

I would definitely say to just save your money and get some TFS Twisted Wedge heads. I wouldn't skimp on the heads, or you may be disappointed with how well they perform. On the Corral, some guys have said that the E-Streets have had some bad springs, and some quality issues. But I believe you can send them back and they will send you new ones if they are defective...

The E Street heads are budget heads, meant to compete with the chines made ones that also have not the best valve train. I liked my TFS but always had great luck with the Edelbrock heads as well. The RPM's at that price are a great deal too. If max NA hp are what you want TFS heads with a custom cam an what not might be the way to go. All depends on the budget!
