I'll be putting an ON3 Performance turbo kit on my 93 Cobra later this year. It's currently stock so I'll just be doing head studs and gasket on mine and hoping for the best.
I'd upgrade to a Trick Flow Fast as cast 170, or AFR 185's though for your 331.

Thanks yea your right on with everything I've read. I hope it ain't my tune the shop that tune my car out of Dallas Texas are well known for there work but you never know. I think I might try AFR an lower my boost. Thank you for the info

Maybe meth or the Vortech power cooler(if you don't already have one) to lower IATs will help maintain your current power level.

I don't have ether an yes I will have my tune checked soon as I get my heads on. I guess I better check on a cooler. Do you recommend using the same gaskets or going with some better ones. I realize it's better to blow a head gasket rather then something else but dang part of me wants the best I can buy to stop this an what ever else it takes. Seems like I ain't got to race my car much due to failure.

I've been researching these after they were said to be the best Head gasket option in another thread I've been reading. Don't have any other suggestions though. I'd look into the super charger section on the Corral.net for some advice/information if your looking for more opinions.

Well I don't know because I don't know my compression ratio.... I know that I didn't blow a head gasket before I added boost. Now it's happen twice in a month. I've put this car to gather over time with parts from here an there saving an swapping. Sorta wish I could start over. Lots of time an money learning.

Go with a head with a 2.02 intake valve or bigger. Think some are going with 2.055. Also get a combustion chamber size above 60cc. Don't get the 58 or 59cc heads. Usually 64+ is the way to go. 170 or 190cc intake runners will be fine. The bigger heads and valves will work well with the blower. Those motors need to breathe. Compression chambers need to be a little bigger than you might think you need. You can go down on compression and open up flow and get better power.

I understand that. I screwed up and put a set of Windsor Jr. heads on mine because the price was right. Any of the trick flow heads will be great. They also have a number you can call directly to trick flow from their site that tech support will help you decide which heads are right for you. There's just too many options from those guys to just guess which one will be best. Good luck and keep us posted on the build.
