What do I need to hit 300rwhp. Car is basically stock accept for JBA shorties and the rest of the exhaust. I was thinking about AFR 185's. I dont know which cam, or intake though, so any help is appreciated.

You don't need AFR 185's...you would have to notch your pistons anywayz...to get them to clear...

Just go with AFR 165's, Edelbrock RPM or RPM II, FTI custom cam, 24 or 30lb injectors, bigger fuel pump, bigger MAF and TB, and you will have over 300rwhp...you could probably go cheaper and get borderline 300rwhp...its all up to you...

Good Luck
David

Im at about 265 flywheel.I have Dense air charger(CAI),75mm bullet maf,Im putting my 65mm TB on tomorrow,FMS shorty's Screamin Demon ign. system,Flowmasters,and a 2800 stall speed conv.//// Im thinking of Thumper heads,T-moss lower intake,and a full Bassini Exhaust system.(LT Headers,x-pipe and muffs) That should do the trick!!

Pretty much any H/C/I and supporting parts will get you right around there. Its really about personal preference and how much money you can afford.

I was lookin at AFR just because they put up really good numbers, but i dont really care if i get alluminum or cast iron heads. I know cast iron is cheaper but does anyone know of any decent flow cast heads? As far as intake goes i was lookin at the typhoon, and when it comes to cams i dont really think i know what im doin

As far as immediate mods go, im getting a black magic electric fan kit, i need travel resistors so my 17x9's dont rub an alluminum drive shaft, and a MRT short throw (it has a pro 5.0 with some nasty hurst handle, i hate it) and thinkin about gettin a bigger MAF but I should probably wait on that one until i get new injectors.

Would the trick flow kit that summit sells get him 300rwhp? It seems pretty good for 2k because it comes with alot of stuff. I was also thinking of getting it in the future.

Yes.

I bought all the pieces of thier "kit" a few years ago. I have no doubt i would be close if not slightly over 300 rwhp.

I doubt anyone will ever get 300rwhp with tmoss intake/thumper heads, not to hate on their work. As for 300 rwhp you can get just about any companies heads/intake/ and almost any cam other than stock and hit 300 rwhp. i perfer TFS but i dont want to bring in any bias into the argument.

I wouldnt start with 185's unless your planning to notch the pistons.
