Carbed combo questions

dah · January 27th, 2012, 11:33 PM

Im looking for a good carbed combo for my 91 coupe. I dont no alot about carbureted intakes or anything really lol Im gonna use the stock bottm end and was thinking about using trick flow 170 or 185 heads. I dont really no what cam or intake to go with. Id like to be over 300 rwhp id appreciate any suggestions on what to go with. Thanks in advance

StangBanger302 · January 27th, 2012, 11:40 PM

Over 300rwhp? That's pretty easy with a 5.0....I say Victor Jr. Intake, pro system Carb, bullet custom cam with Trick Flow 190 heads and 1 5/8 longtubes and 2.5 inch exhaust. Help at all?

dah · January 27th, 2012, 11:57 PM

Thanks for the advice. and i said 300hp but id like to be alot higher lol. I already have a 650 holly do u think it would work well with the combo you put? On those 190 heads would you have them milled to 58cc?

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 12:11 AM

Yeah, I would because the stock chambers are kinda big. Just CHECK PTV!! It changes clearance a lot. I wouldn't use a 650 but that's just me...Something like a 750 would be better. I said Pro Systems Carb because he makes a Carb custom for your setup. With the combo I listed you should make 340rwhp or more with a good tune.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 12:26 AM

ok im gonna look into those carbs but they are pretty high dollar arent they? one reason (which is a bad reason) i was going to use the carbed stuff was because i thought i might could get out alot cheaper then buying all the stuff to make the efi set up run good but still have a car with well over 300 hp but maybe i should just stick with the efi set up

horsepowerjunkie · January 28th, 2012, 12:50 AM

It's still gona cost you to swap over to a carb. You will need a fuel delivery system(fuel pump, lines, etc.), a carb & intake, distributor & ignition system, etc. It all adds up. You could easily make 300 rwhp with EFI. just my 2 cents!

dah · January 28th, 2012, 01:02 AM

well i may just stick with the fuel injection ive been trying to come up with a good combo for months now but its a hard to do because my first gt40 setup sucks balls and i dont wanna be pissed when i finish this one and thanks for all your help guys

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 01:24 AM

Gt40 setups usually suck, lol. That's why. It wasn't the EFI's fault. EFI is the way to go in my opinion...Tuning is much more precise and you can load multiple tunes, change timing with an MSD etc.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 01:34 AM

im gonna go efi i have a combo in mind would like to see what u guys think and give me some advice it still with the stock bottom end trick flow flat top pistons, trick flow 185 or 190 heads, trick flow r intake, custom cam, 30lb injectors, longtubes any thoughts or suggestions?

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 01:38 AM

Do the 190 heads as they're cheaper and almost as good. Do 1 3/4 longtubes. Idk why I suggested 1 5/8 before. Use stock pistons...Do you really wanna spend 400$ on pistons, then buy new rings and have your bottom end balanced? That's gonna run roughly 1000 altogether. The rest seems fine. Trick flow r intakes are really good. I would also suggest 24# injectors if you're staying N/A. 30 pounders are a little overkill.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 01:47 AM

ok thanks i already have some 24lb injectors just need a mass air i have a c&l now and it sucks. and i figured i might need pistons for the custom cam but i guess they could make it work with them. I figure ill buy a 75mm throttle body think that would work alright? what brand mass air do u think i should go with

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 07:49 AM

Pro-M MAFs are really good. If you ever upsize, you just send it to them and they re-calibrate it for you. Whatever size the opening to the intake is what size throttle body you should get. I would get a 90mm opening intake nd a throttle body to match. Accufab makes a real nice piece. Custom cam guys usually are very good about making cams that will clear stock pistons. If it hits, you can have them notched for 75-150$.

ryanw · January 28th, 2012, 01:14 PM

Stay efi, 24lb should be good enough and prob m maff,

dah · January 28th, 2012, 04:44 PM

For a custom cam who would you guys go with?

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 05:08 PM

Bauer Racing cam's, Bullet racing, FTI, Cam Motion etc. Any one of them are good. I'm getting a cam from Bret at Bauer Racing. He designs valvetrain and does custom cam's and also does cylinder heads. If you want a way to contact him I can get you his email.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 05:28 PM

How much do his custom cams cost? Any thoughts on anderson cams?

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 05:58 PM

420$ shipped for a billet core. Anderson cam's are great. One of the better OTS cams. The N-41 gets the nod for Trick Flow heads on a stock bottom end 302.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 06:02 PM

I was looking at the n51hr and the n61 but the n41 would be a better choice you think?

StangBanger302 · January 28th, 2012, 06:27 PM

I don't know the specs of those cams...If I knew I could reccommend one.

dah · January 28th, 2012, 06:36 PM

N-41......222/232 .512/.512 w/1.6 rocker 110 106
N-51HR...226/234 .520/.528 w/ 1.6 rocker 110
N-61......228/236 .544/.568 w/1.6 rocker 110
This is what ive found on them. Anderson website says that the N61 requires aftermarket pistons but i guess i could have them flycut like you said before.
