MSD 6AL Ignition System W/ Supplemental Distributor, Most Likely An MSD -- Suggestions?
Hi Flo Water Pump -- Of Some Sort, Most Likely Edelbrock -- Suggestions?
24#/hr Fuel Injectors

My Questions Are... what, if anything, should I change? WIll My Head/Intake/Cam Combo work well (rather, will they fit up without any fabbing).
What fuel pump should I use? Are my injectors enough?

My Goal is 300-350 RWHP through a T-45, aluminum driveshaft, king cobra clutch, an 8.8 with 3.27s and a good working posi.

Is this attainable with my setup? Will i be putting out more?

Thanks Much,
G

P.S. The only thing I am really thinking about changing is the cam and throwing 3.73s and maybe a built rear in later on down the line..the exhaust is probably going to be MAC Longtubes with offroad H pipe and mac catback.

Also, The suspension is quite far from stock.. MAC & PST have been my friends for the past few months. The car handles almost as good as my mod'd WRX. Keyword.. ALMOST .

A t45?

I think you could do better as well with the cam. If your not on a budget, call ed curtis at fti. Alot of guys run that combo and put down great numbers.

Id just get a regular old autozone or whatever water pump. you ve got plenty of injectors and a 190lph will be more than enough

You really don't think a T-45 will be good for a starting point on the project?
I cannot afford a new tranny right this moment. Once I get my turbo setup going, Ill probably throw in a lentech auto.

I think your goal is easily attainable with your combo. Car Craft did a set of afr's like yours on a 302 with the stock cam and made 402 H.P. at the crank. I agree maybe a bit more cam. The injector size should be about right. Have Fun Good luck!

Good setup, definately go with more cam. I run .566 lift on the street, and still get 17-18 mpg with good street manners. more cam, everything else is good. tranny maybe, but I know a guy who bracket races with his 12.00 t-5 347. hes got alloy gears, but... fuel items are fine,I would go with that new RPM II intake, it can only help.

I'd suggest a 75-77mm MAF, adj fuel pressure regulator and dumping the main support b/c it'll only hold together what's broken, if anything breaks. Use that money for something else.

flywheel dynos are never accurate, i wouldn't trust em as much as a chassis dyno. 350rwhp might be a little out of your reach, but 300-310 should be easily attainable.
