Just traded a 93 gt for a 91 lx. This car is 100% stock. Even original tires with 34000 miles on car. I want to put the $8000 extra I received in the deal into this car immediatly. More in the future but for now a weekend only street car. Any ideas on combos would be great.
are you looking for it to look nice and be a drag/street car, or do you not care how fancy it looks, or are you building it to be a handling street car?
looking mainly for a drag/street set-up. Regarding looks, I'd like to keep a clean stock look with the exception of maybe wheels & tires. Sound is important rumble at idle with bark up top. had 87 gt with dynomax superturbos but I'm not sure what was in front of it, sounded great. On the 93 gt I went with flowmaster american thunder it wasn't what I was looking for, a bit hollow for myself. I guess I'm the same as most guys in respect to how fast- the lower the et's the better. Most driving will be for short runs on the street might visit the track a couple of times the summer. Currently run sled at the track so can't really do both. This forum stuff is new to me I don't know how to post pics yet I can barely type.
If the stock bottom end is in good shape I would do Heads, custom cam, intake and a Supercharger of your choice,
I had a 87 coupe with a built bottom end ported AFR 165 , cam and intake done by Ed curtis at FTI with out the blower my 306 made 320 rwhp i addad a new Novi 1k and was pushing 6psi that was the funest car i ever had. I could drive it all day sit in traffic with the a/c on and run 11's on street tires. Never got to get it to the dyno as someone had to have my car more then i did and stole it (rip)
TFS Track heat kit, 347 shortblock, Rims/tires, rearend, exhaust, 80mm mass air, 75mm TBody, 36lb inj, adj fp regulator, suspension.....you are already out of money at this point or damn close. This would be an attractive way to go but you haven't even got to the tranny yet!
