what kind of rear wheel power numbers would i put down with a kenne Bell and AFR 165's with the supporting mods on a 94 GT?? .. My guess is 400 the wheels tops.....but i dont want anymore then that because of reliability issues. Also kind of boost would i put down with that the heads there...???

400 or a bit less sounds like the range you could expect

I don't know the answer to your boost Q
but
I'm gonna have you think about that Q a bit with these thoughts

Consider this about boost and the amount you might see on a gauge

Say you have a stocker Stang and you put out 10lbs

Take that same Stang and install h/c/i and all supporting mods
with the same blower setup.

The motor has become more efficient
and
You will now see less than 10lbs

Is that good or bad

Where I'm going with this is
amount of boost is not totally indicative of making horse power

Also ... with a KB ... the small blower can run outta breath if you got it all
setup with h/c/i

i got ya Grady, it will see less boost with them heads because there will be less "pressure" in the engine, its not as restrictive.

That is exactly where I was going

Now ... if say you could bring back up that combo with h/c/i to 10lbs again
and
The blower was still in its effective range of output

Well ... thats just a different way to show
10lbs is not just 10lbs in different combos

Thats why you see a lot of the time
a guy has a good bit of boost on a stocker ......
its so restrictive

My cousin made 396rwhp with 6lbs of boost on a stock bottom end '94 with an FTI custom cam and a holley systemax I lower intake. he has since switched to a GT40 lower with a flowzilla manifold, but he hasn't re-dyno'd the car. With his "old" combo I lit the tires up in 3rd gear at around 75mph... it was one white knuckle drive I never want to have again.

i made 330/380 at 7# with my KB 1.7 and a completely stock cobra motor. i'm throwing on 165 ped mount and a tmoss ported lower in a few weeks so i guess i'll see what the increase is. i don's see why this and a good cam couldn't easily get you to 400. i'm hoping to be around there with the stock cam.
