So, as the title says, I picked up this 91 convertible GT about a year ago... 2500 miles on a stock rebuild shortblock with gt40p heads, explorer intake, 24# injectors, C&L MAF, BBK shorty headers, FRPP Alum driveshaft and 3.73's on a DL... for 2k - I wasn't complaining!!!

But 13.99 isn't fast in my book SOOOOO...

I am starting to work on her

Recent Purchases:
Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads
BBK SSi-R Intake
O3P Single turbo kit (Sending piping to jet-hott and throwing away the turbo)
Anderson B31HR Cam

Going to build the top end for now, I know the stock shortblock is going to be a little short with that much airflow up top, BUT, I am planning a Big Bore 363 which should create a nice street driver with nasty track potential...

What do you think?

Well the cam you have will work good with a turbo or supercharger. But if you go with a 363 N/A motor the anderson N-41/N51 would work better with the a N/A 363 motor.

Yup, it's been discontinued for a reason. Edelbrock, Trick Flow will be better and won't give you install issues.

Well the ssi-r has the plenum volume I wanted... And it doesn't look like all of the others you mentioned which is a bonus for me and the overall design and look of the engine bay. I've done my homework on it's shortcomings though so I pretty much know what to watch out for...

Eventually , once I graduate (Career Change), Boss block 363 will be under this combo and the Turbo will be of the Turbonetics GTK 850 variety so I want big Airflow up to around 7500 RPM (the cam will change with the shortblock obviously) I just wanted to get it together for now

I like the Trick Flow intakes however FYI the BBK SSI is the one with the issues. The SSI-R is not the one that got the bad rap.
