I just got sick with my car after a poor run at the track and I have decided it is time for some serious power boost. I want to have a stong motor before i'll consider a power adder. What are some recommendations on the best way to go. I want my car to be running consistent 12's and I would like to be able to still use the same intake.

You'd have to have a pretty decent combo to run consistant 12's, and that's with some sticky rubber and a good '60. As asked above, what intake do you currently have and then we can go a little further on.

e-brock heads, and Crower 15511 you may or may not be able to reuse the injectors. Are you using a mass air flow sensor to match the 24's???

how much power do you think i would make, or gain, with that combo? Is that a real radical cam? because a radical cam is probably not good with my intake

No that crower cam is reffered to as the "Baby crower cam", it's also know for making big power #ers. Here is a list of cams and head's

I've read over the years the power this cam has helped make.

32v heads are a really cool idea, but that is a ridiculous amout of money. So in my research i have found that without a power adder,a really radical cam, or more cubic inches it is going to be really hard for me to get in the 12's consistently with just a simple cam and heads swap. Does this seem accurate to everyone out there?


95 GT, EDL intake, 70mm TB, 24# INJ, MAC cold air, MAC prochamber, MAC mufflers, Bilstein BTS suspension, Steeda alum. upper and lower control arms
