The downside is the torque, we are making 225ft. lbs, compared to 305ft. lbs, but what do you excpect, ewre V6's. But just like you said, 215? weren't Fox bodies getting 10 more HP from the show room floor stock?

The 1993 GT mustang was making 205hp stock! 94-97 Gt's had 215 and 98 had 225.

There is nothing wrong with cast iron heads. My V6 with ported stock heads and a ported stock intake with a nitrous cam made 225 rwhp on a pretty much stock tune. Thats not bad. Now with HP tuners and better and bigger cams out there for the 3.8's I have seen 260-300 rwhp all motor!

Work with what you have! If you want to build your V6 then dont waste the money on aluminum heads just get a stock set of heads for 100.00 or less and port the **** out of them! I also saw that they make Longtube headers now for the V6! When I built mine the only headers out there were the crappy RKsport shorty headers..
