whats that FRPP head all about?



Ford optimized the Zetec head for their Ford Racing line. When matched to the FRPP intake and some good cams, the gains are VERY impressive. I've read over on focaljet that a few people have tried to port it but with minimal gains. It comes almost perfect out of the box.

A stock head put out 125.7HP@6k, the FRPP head with stock cams, a FRPP intake, and FRPP header put out 161.5HP@7k. Putting in Stage 3 FRPP cams bumped that to 175.9HP@7k.

It's certainly not the cheapest mod, but 50HP is one helluva jump in power for a weekends worth of work.

BTW, the FRPP head is $875, cams are around $350, springs are about $235, and the intake is $450. All together, it's about $2k with tappets and cam seals. Check out McNews Automotive if you're really interested.

BTW#2, the head would only magnify a turbo or s/c. A stock head running 6psi may put out 189HP. The FRPP head running 6psi may put out 263HP.
