I'm looking at adding some N/A power to a '92 notch. It currently has 3.73 gears, short shifter, and lowered ~2" with good suspension stuff and a strut tower brace up front. I'll eventually go with headers, some kind of high flow cat X/H pipe, and whatever flavor of muffler.
I want to make some good power out of the engine doing it all at once, figuring it'll be cheaper/easier/more reliable to get a kit rather than piece something together. I don't want FI right now, but in the future it may happen. Here's what I've found so far.
Up first for $1,600 is the Cobra intake with GT40p heads, and this kit includes shorty headers: 87-93 Engine Kit, Top End - Satin Cobra Intake, Gt40p Heads, & E303 Cam at LRS - Same Day Shipping!.
Then there's the $2,450 Trick Flow kit with Street Heat Twisted Wedge heads, intake, etc but no headers: 87-93 Engine Kit, Top End - Street Heat With Silver Powdercoat at LRS - Same Day Shipping!. It claims to make up to 350hp/370tq.
Is the Trick Flow kit worth the extra $850? What difference in power and reliability is there? What's the "best" kit out there without spending huge money?
