94 Cobra currently have a Voretch S-trim on the car with all the bolt on's stock long block, I want to go the 331c.i. route. Whats a good h/c/i combo to run with the supercharger, and the stroker? I'm looking for around 500+ rwhp. Open for all the suggestions...

I'm headed down the trickflow route with my S-trim...

Got a budget on this? Buy the strongest block you can afford.

i think with a well built 331 and blower 500 should be easy to hit.... for forced induction i really like the holley systemax intake..... other then that i like edelbrocks intakes......if you go trickflow i sugest you get a track heat

Yea, I was looking at around $5-6 g's with the stroker kit, h/c/i and supporting mods.. Pretty much playing it by ear, I have more $ if need be. Thought about going with the Trickflow track heat kit, or the AFR 185's, Holley systemax,with a blower cam. It's pretty much down to those options between the Trickflow kit or mixing and matching the AFR's etc... I dont mind dropping alittle extra $ on a good set of h/c/i i'd just like to good with a good reliable power making combo, thats good for a weekend driver street/strip. Also going to go with a smaller pulley on the s-trim.

"Green 94" what kind of numbers are you putting down with that combo, and how much boost are you running?

i like afr's with the systemax combo and custom grind cam... it will cost you more and the stroker kit will set you back too since you need/want a forged internal kit...are you doing all the work youself?? if not you better have more money you plan on using the stock block for this combo?? you need a stud girdle and maybe look into getting those lifter valley braces.

No, I'm heading to the Tampa Bay area and I was going to have the work done down there. I would like to use the stock block and girdle for the caps if possible, but if not then maybe just a CHP or D.S.S. short block. I know later on I might want more power then I will be $hit out of luck with the stock block. If it gets to out of control price wise, I would prob go with the Trickflow track heat kit and not mix/match parts ran into that problem before exhaust set up's etc.. The car only has about 82,000 miles on it but I figured I'd get the motor rebuilt and do these mods to kill two birds with one stone type of thing.

well a h/c/i , a stroker kit you will be close to 4k in price... if you get a stroker kit worth anything so with labor you should blow by 5k pretty easily

i havent had the car on the dyno as of yet since i am still finishing up a few things with the motor swap, but i would guess in the 475-500hp range at the wheels. i see about 12psi on the gauge. actual hp numbers should be available next week if all goes well.

I don't even think he'd need a stroker kit if 500 hp is his goal. I made the power in my sig with a completely stock longblock. H/C/I with the blower will put him easily over 500hp.

I agree, i'm leaning towards "Greens" combo. I'll spend alittle extra for putting some decent power to the ground. The motor is fine now, but I figured with swapping out the h/c/i I might as well stroke and freshin the motor up.

Probably not going to be a daily driver I see - Nice plans by the way!

My vote, AFR 205's, FTI cam (or similar cam designer), Systemax (ported to match)...
