H/C/I recomendations

[Maniak]

as some of you know i just bought a 94 cobra. i am lookin to start doin some mods. i want to do HCI but i am not sure what to go with. i was thinking 2 different possibilities.

1) AFR 185's, custom cam, and either ported stock cobra, or trick flow

2) Trick Flow top end kit click

i am not really sure which set up will give me the most power

i want to make around 300rwhp with this setup. i would like to get a tune but i don't really want to spend 500 bucks for one. i have pretty much all the bolt on's right now as far as mods. i still would like to get an adj. fuel pressure regulator and a higher flowing fuel pump. any suggestions on what to buy for that as well would be greatly aprecciated.

thanks in advance

ya, i am not sure how good the cam is in that package. what is nice about the kit is that it comes with gaskets, timing chain, nice valve covers, and pushrods

Do you ever plan on a supercharger or turbo? Or will this be NA?

super charge may be in the future. i am still tryin to figure out what i want to do. i may just want to do a NA 347. but i am leaning more towards boost.

get AFR heads, they're some of the best money can buy.

just got a new idea

forget the HCI and get an s-trim. it will cost a little more but will get me more power. all i have to do is get a good tune and run the boost conservatively.

now what should i do

either way, you are going to be happy.. a blower requires less work to do and you will probably get a little extra HP.. as far as which set of heads to go with, look at real street... unported TFS heads on cars going 9.60s... one of my customers had unported BOX STOCK TFS heads with a novi2000 making 15psi, tko trans, and drove it everywhere.. it went 142mph in the 1/4..

If you decide on a blower, shoot me an email for a quote..

thanks and good luck

Holley and Edelbrock have similar kits to the Twisted wedge kit. One of them, I think the Holley, has a slightly lower compression ratio on the heads. This is a good thing when you start adding boost.

There is also a special 45' throttle body elbow that trick flow and others make that you will need to adapt any common windsor intake to your 94 engine bay.

problem with the holley and edelbrock kits is they are setup for pedestal mount rockers.. not something you want if you plan on making serious HP in the future..

Good to know. Never looked that close. :cool2:

well, i think i am going to purchase the full vortech kit and get a nice tune. i might even get a blower cam too.

i guess i will have to take it easy or stay away from the track so i don't blow up my T5

i have a v-1 strim kit for sale, also a stage one trick flow cam, possible intake also.. all came off, or still is on my 93 cobra.. the blower is still on the car if you want to see it. shoot me a p.m if you are intersted.

 

[whistlen93]

by the way the t5 can take a little beaten as long as you are nice to third gear.
