I have $3000 left to spend on my cobra. Here's what i have thus far...
Engine:
Motorsport sportsman block (331)
Scat 4340 Hbeam rods
Scat Forged 4340 crank- Mallory balanced to 28 oz.
JE Blower pistons w/ Hellfire rings 8.5-1 comp.
Race main girdle
AFR 185 CNC ported heads
Ported GT40 intake
Crane Gold 1.6 RR
ARP everything
Canton pan w/ windage tray
Melling oil pump
ARP oil pump shaft
SFI Powerbond balancer
FMS Roller timing se
Crane Hyd. roller blower cam
Crane cam roller lifters w/ spyder and holddowns
.080 wall 1 piece Chromoly pushrods
BBK 1 3/4 LT headers
39# injectors
Drivetrain:
Tremec 3550
Stock DS
Rear:
STOCK with almost 100,000 miles
Suspension:
STOCK with almost 100,000 miles
So, of the $3000, heres what i have spent already:
Alum DS - $100
MSD digital 6 - $220 (maybe $200)
BBK 75mm TB and EGR spacer: $125
Now i'm left with about $2555, and i know i need:
Pro-M 80mm Race Mass Air Meter (Shorty) with Filter - $200 (AFM Sale), calibrated for the 39's
AFPR - $75 (approx)
o/r x for LT's - $200 (approx) Also, what size should i get? Will 2.5 x 2.5 work?
255 pump - $100 (approx)
Radiator - $450 (approx)
Tune - $500 ( approx)
These estimates pretty decent? If so, that leaves me with around $1030. I know i need to build up the rear, but i also want to go a little faster. Jim Bell told me i would get a 'nice discount' on a blower, but i wont find out a price until hopefully tomorrow. Now, should i build up the rear and save up for a blower which could take me a couple years, or just go for the blower if i can afford it and just take it easy on the rear? Without a blower, the max power i can get on motor should be about 330/350.
Another option would be a wet or dry 50-100 shot ($500) and a built rear ($500).
Is there anything i am forgetting?
