Are you going with the 6 or 9 psi pulley ? To my knowledge, the engine is already near its limit with the power produced by the 9psi. I would not recommend cams with such a setup if you want your engine to last. I would however, recommend a built bottom end AND cams

Going with cams and 6 psi is definitely safe with a good tune.

I'm with BC though, think you should get new rubbers.

Yeah a built motor would take the punishment much better. I won't have the money for one of those for awhile. crap

Actually now that I think about it, doesn't KB suggest changing your catback? From what I remember there's a section on their website that gives suggestions for further modifications.

first sticky tires for sure & next a beefed up bottom end i've driven my neighbors s/c cobra a few times (he has 410 rwhp & a equal amount of tq) & when he has the regular tires on it, instead of his e.t. streets, it's completely worthless but when the e.t's go on it's fun time

I would go with suspension mods. You'll have crazy power, now you need to get it to the ground. Sticky tires is the easy mod, but there's alot of suspension work that'll make a huge impact.

I just installed a Novi 2000 and I've already started setting aside the funds for a built bottom end and blower cams from T&J Performance.

[QUOTE='96&'01Stang]I say a built VT stroker, T&J performance stage 3 heads w/ blower cams, Suspension, and some sticky tires[/QUOTE]

OMG!! I don't think a stock rear end will hold up under all that. After my install is complete and tuned I will be looking at beefing up my rear end, so it can handle the new found hp and torque, and then some suspension mods to make it hook up better. I am sure it will spin like crazy at first but that will probably save my rear end until I can beef it up some. I am afraid that if I do the suspension first that I will be forced, because it blew up, to do the rear end before I am ready, lol.

My vote is rear end, clutch, etc...
