I just wasn't gonna put my money toward a tb which would not give
gain like a set of nice flowing Aluminum heads
A catback before a custom cam
An aftermarket meter before an aftermarket intake
Don't get rid of the cat back! You will lose ALL OF YOUR LOW END GRUNT! You need the back pressure! You'll have to idle at like 850 RPMS! It will stall at all the red lights, you won't be able to drive the car on the street!

my thought is look at real street cars if they can run 9's with a stock cam ,i guess its not too bad , and i know you could get by with no tune, if you had a good meter to go along with new inj.

Maybe I can shed some light on this subject this summer. I am going to run my stock cam with Thumper ported GT40P's with 1.7 RR's and a Trickflow street intake. I have a 70 mm throttle body, 80 mm MAF, underdrive pullies with no smog or A/C. Exhaust is BBK shorties with off road X and dumped flows. I know it isnt AFR heads and Track heat intake, but it should make half decent power. My plan is to bolt on a Vortech blower maybe next winter, and I hear the stock cam is decent for boost, so Im going to save some cash and try it out. I want to dyno it before and after the blower, so I will be able to post up a dyno sheet for proof of my combo with a stock cam. Problem is that it will take a couple months for me to get it all bolted up and running.
Edit: Maybe I should elaborate on the heads. Mike is upgrading the exhaust valves to the bigger GT40 valves, and replacing them all with stainless steel under cut valves with a 5 angle job. Im looking forward to seeing the finished product, and seeing how much of a kick in the pants it will be still using the stock cam.

I was being sarcastic, I agree
I think he was referring to the Steeda Real Street class. To that point, I would comment that there is nothing "street" about a Real Street car! Similarly a "stock" car is not very stock.
Adam
yes i was refering to the real street class and yes they do run the stock cam , but with power adders , that was my point they are running 9's
I live in Cornelius, OR. Are you in Oregon?
This is a very interesting thread I started.....I created a monster. Thanks to everyone for all the advice. One of these days I will get to the engine stuff. Still working on the tranny swap, damn I am slow. Its nice to work on something and just take it easy....no pressure. If I worked this slow at work ...well I won't have a job anymore.

this is comic gold....like you stumbled or something, damn, didn't mean to do that...hell lets go fast and have fun anyway!!2yrs ago I accidentally put together a stock shortblock
Well.....i kinda did...lol. It all started with the heads. Found them on Ebay bare like you see them as they arrived to me. They were labeled USED by the seller and was a bid action for them. The really funny part is there was ZERO bidders! The starting bid was $900 so with 10 seconds left on the auction to end i bid $925 and won the auction.this is comic gold....like you stumbled or something, damn, didn't mean to do that...hell lets go fast and have fun anyway!!
bet that thing was dependable too, good numbers too but still tickled me when I read that line.
