I am really stumped on what I want to do with my car. My first thoughts were to have BBK L/T's, BBK X pipe, Magnaflow magnapacks, rebuilt rearend w/ 3.73 gears, 75mm T/B, procharger, etc, etc and be running close to 400rwhp. I figure I would have close to 10 grand invested over a years time.
So my mind wonders all day if I should do that setup or go larger. So I start looking into my other options and started gathering info from some pros and come up with this ( Keep in mind this is by far a larger project and would take 2 years to complete paying cash and not using credit)
5.0 Stroker Short block for 2v with :
-New Windsor block
-Custom steel stroker crank
-Clevite racing bearings
-ARP main studs
-Oliver Billet rods with ARP 2000
bolts
-custom spherical dish .020 over JE pistons with file
to fit rings
-all of this zero balanced
-all machine work done to block
-professionally assembled
-SFI balancer
-ARP head studs
-Canton 9 QT pan w/windage tray
-full gasket kit
-head kit
-full port and polish
-five angle valve job
-stainless steel over sized valves
-dual behive valve springs
-billet cores cam
I figure this with a rearend rebuild would take up most of my funds for 2006.
So for 2007 would look something like this:
-03-04 Cobra gas tank
-03-04 Cobra fuel pump assembly
-upgraded wiring kit
-Upgraded fuel pumps
-Upgraded fuel line kit
-CPR Fuel rail kit for returnless
-60lb injectors
TURBO
-full D&D tubular front suspension
-coil over kit
-cc plates
-76GTS Turbo kit
-intercooler
-Greddy blow off valve
-all ceramic coated
-Turbo smart gate
-Turbo smart E-manage electronic boost controller
and some other misc. suspenion stuff. If I needed another tranny or whatever else would have to wait because I would be broke at this point.
So I should I throw the s/c on and be done with it or should I go the turbo route and wait it out? And what kinda numbers would the motor put out by itself considering it would be a year before the turbo went on?
