I have a '94 Cobra that dynos at 242/285 at the wheels with the stock longblock. I am looking at something like a $3k budget and at first I thought I could do a Vortech but that isn't realistic. After install ($800) and tuning ($1,000 with chip), a Vortech would be closer to $5k. On the other hand, I could get a pair of AFR's ($1400) and something like a #19 or 2031 cam ($220) and install those myself. After a dyno tune and custom chip, that route would be right in my price range. However, I am looking at a HP gain of maybe 30hp at the wheels vs. ~70 with a Vortech.
Why did you choose the HCI route over SC?
