[QUOTE="Maynor, post: 6580526, member: 9118"] Similar combo. Same car. :-) N/A is by the far the most reliable way to go. Compression, Cams and Long-tubes. With a mod-motor, you can run 11:1 or better on pump gas. Stock compression is 9.85:1 so 10:1 doesn't buy you much. 11:1 or better and your torque will thank you. Cams, I'm pretty happy with the Comp Cams sticks, will find the stick specs later. Good for almost 40 rwhp on my blown setup but N/A's will show useful gains. LONG-tubes for HP and torque. Unless you plan on accessing your tranny a lot, get rid of the shorties. They don't buy you much. Valve springs that will let you run to about 7500 rpm. This combo makes a fun, reliable 93 octane burning track car. 42 lb injectors are overkill but are reliable and plenty cheap too. Drop one of the fuel pumps for less complexity but keep the return system. Tunes are easier. To be honest, you can probably make more HP/$$ out of a 351 combo and its easier to work on with more torque. I've been open tracking my Blown 99 for 5 years plus. It takes a lot of work to keep it reliable and COOLED. 2nd go around, I'd go N/A in a heart beat. Its always on the edge on track as you know. The power is fun though. :) John [/QUOTE]
