Well i decided that im going to go with a h/c/i before i go forced induction. Im looking for a setup that will give me low to mid torque range. Im not looking for the high end hp because it is mostly a street driven car. I want a cam that sounds more aggresive then stock but i dont want to sacrifice drivability. My current mods are longtubes with an offroad hipe. Its an 87 with mass air conversion and everything else is pretty much stock. Later on plan on getting a kenne bell but for now i think ill go the h/c/i route. Can anyone give me suggestions on a good setup. I was looking at the trickflow kit that comes with everything. Anyone have an opinion on that..or something else.. Thanks

Have you looked at the trick flow kits? They are a good deal and come with basically the entire top end minus accessories

The Trick flow kits are nice for the price and make good power. I believe there is a bit of loss of torque in the lower rpms though but listen to someone with the actual combo. Advancing the cam would help with that...

I know I went with a custom cam/AFR 165's/Performer intake (main parts) and I have more torque than stock and much more higher rpm power...so I got the best of both worlds

Click to expand...

Nope...but my Centerforce clutch is broke in now and I'll be heading to the track as soon as I get a free Saturday night There is always something stopping me from getting any decent times...

I still got a valve cover leak (wrong gasket for the head) and hopefully it won't contaminate the clutch any time soon...

I've been helping my friend out with his tranny/clutch issues as well lately...me and "them" clutches

The Trickflow kits sound very good. If your going with a Kenne Bell then I would try and match the cam to the blower. I kept my stock cam for drivability with the speed density. I don't think you would be disappointed with a Trickflow or Edelbrock kit.

I have the trick flow heads/intake/rockers with an e cam and its great. I would have really liked to keep the stage 1 cam in but it is technically not emissions legal here in Ca. There is just a tad less low end power compared to say the GT40 but the rpms pick up really quick and with forced induction I doubt you will have any problems with torque at any rpm. Definately streetable. Still for the price, you can't touch the overall performance for the dollars to the street heat intake.

I have the entire kit installed and I couldn't be happier. Great power for the money. If I had to do it again it would be Holley systemax/customcam/Trickflow Hi-ports though.

If you are going to get the roots type supercharger... it would be cheaper to just wait until you have everything... because you don't need your intake after that.

One thing, if you are planning ahead for a kenne bell, it will not bolt up to most intakes. I believe it will only sit on a stock or GT40 intake. Something to keep in mind if you don't want to replace the intake later to fit a KB.
