GT40p heads would add about 10-20 hp (depending on comp ratio, wear and tear on engine), adding roller rockers would free up another 5 ponies....

in order to run gt40p heads one must use MAC headers due to spark plug angle.

there are GT-40s and GT-40p's.

The GT40's have 1.85"/1.54" valves, GT40P's have 1.85"/1.46" valves, and the stock E7TE's have 1.78"/1.46" valves.

No flame intended here, but compared to what. The flow numbers look pretty good to me for a stock head. And even
better when ported. It was the design of the combustion chamber that allowed for a smaller, better breathing head.

and on top of that it can raise compression because of the smaller combustion chambers

Compared to something aftermarket...or better. AFR, X303, the list is getting a bit longer...have already seen a few tests with the 351w/gt40p combo....about the same as an D0OE head and a good cam. For my money, if I am going to buy any heads in the future, I am going with AFR.
