so ive gotten ahold of some cash to spend on the 91, and am pretty excited to finally get to do something with it,but im having a hard time deciding :shrug:

heres what im wanting to pick up:

AFR 165's or 185's???
trick Flow or RPM II intake
tfs stage 1 or anderson cam or custom grind
24# inj.
ive already got a 75mm bbk tb and spacer
MAF? not sure what to get
255 fuel pump
powerpipe
3.73s or 4.10s
X-pipe

as this will be my first 5.0 build of my own im just looking to hear what everyone thinks, if this is a mismatched list, or if anyones had problems with anything on the list

thanks
 
do you plan on keeping it the factory stroke? any plans for forced induction later on? if so, i'd go with the afr 185's, rpm II intake, afm or custom cam and as far as the maf, as long as it's bigger than your throttle body. the rest of your list sounds fine. do you have subframe connectors yet? might want to throw that on the list.
 
Ya I'd like to just stay factory stroke, I'll be picking up some subframe connectors as well, just wasn't sure if the 185s were overkill or not, I'll probably also be reusing the nitrous kit ive got
 
go 3.73s. i had them in my old 89 and thought it was still too short for a 5 spd. with 185's you'll have to notch your pistons or go aftermarket. 165s are a great head. if cost is a factor I have been hearing good things about edelbrocks e streets. just a thought.
 
I'll have to look into the e streets but ive been leaning towards the AFRs , I know a lot of people like the twisted wedge heads too
