+ 1 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!

your cam is already has to much lift for your heads so why bother adding more lift? Stock E7's pretty much are maxed out around .470-.480 lift and not flowing any more air

Put that money in the bank and save for heads

Personally, I would save the money for better heads than the GT-40's. I'm far from experienced with 5.0 setups though.

Gt-40 heads are still not enough for that cam you have.

By the time you buy a set of GT-40's, have a machine shop install stiffer springs, and check for any repairs that may need to be made on them you are almost at the price for a set of used Edelbrocks or trickflows
