Starting a Build up Any suggestions with my setup

Traidmarx · September 22nd, 2008, 07:13 PM

okay so i have a 95 GT. Stock from the stock air box. to the stock tail pipes. here is what i'm looking into getting...basically putting together a wish list. My job is offering alot of overtime right now and i'm due for a pretty good bonus in a month or so. So i'm looking to do this in about 6 months.

306 Bottom End
BBK CAI
Grantelli MAF
BBK 75mm TB
TrickFlow Upper and Lower
TrickFlow Heads
forced induction Cam of some sort
BBK LT's
BBK Catted X
Bassani Catback
4.10's
150 Shot of Nitrous until i can save the money for a Kenne Bell or D1SC

i'm looking to be able to make somewhere in the 550-600 HP range

do ya think that'd get me there...or anything else i should replace in the setup??

I'd use a stock bottom end. Spend that money on the SCT Pro Racer Package so you can have someone tune the stock ineffiecencies out of the computer.

someone in another thread said that my block wouldn't hold...and are those HP numbers reasonable??

The block will fail before the crank, rods or pistons will.

530 is probably a more reasonable number.

Traidmarx · September 22nd, 2008, 10:35 PM

so you think the block will support around 500 RWHP

The block might hold 500rwhp but you aren't going to make that much at the wheels with only 150hp of nitrous. At the flywheel, yes. At the tire, no. Maybe with a blower but not with the combination you listed and 150hp of nitrous.

so in other words, your stock block will be fine. i know guys that run mid 10's in the 1/4 with a stock 302 bottom end.
+1 on investing in a quality tune, whether you take it to a tuner or get it done yourself.

how easy are those tuning programs to use, like air/fuel ratio can you control all of that and do it easy, like tell the computer to back off the gas when you start reaching certain rpms because i run bad rich at 4200 :/ and what one would you guys recommend, a buddy was trying to get me to spend $1200 on a AEM 1

this is just my opinion (ive never had these heads)...but...ive heard the trickflows arent reliable...ive heard of a guy at the track that took a hammer to those and couple more times people have had problems with them they do make great horsepower but idk i never had them so i cant say much

other than that your setup sounds beastly! id go with afr heads and go with the stock bottomend and get a tune on the dyno then youd be set!

Traidmarx · September 25th, 2008, 07:54 PM

how have you never heard of trick flow?

fairlane_68 · September 25th, 2008, 08:39 PM

He has heard of TFS, but he's never had them on his car.

You never had these heads but you are saying they are unrelieable? This is exactly how misinformation spreads like wildfire on the internet....just like 347s burn oil. Trick Flow makes some of the best performing and reliable street heads on the market. I'm guessing you don't have any experience with AFR heads either. If so, how can you give a recomendation on them? If you have no experience with such products, you shouldn't be giving any advice in regards to those products.

i've got trick flow twisted wedge aluminums on mine, and they're badass. darrell is right, trick flow are some of the best performing heads out there. definitely spend the money on a tune, or your car just won't run the way it should. another mistake i made was not upgrading the fuel pump...throw in a bigger one, put in an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and probably bump up the size of your injectors if they are stock. golden rule, you've got to let it eat!
