with the right combo 300 is very possible, choosing the right convertor for his set up will be key also to plant the power effectively

he said he was wanting a trick flow intake.

With the full exhaust, cai, t/b, pullies, good H/I/C, and what ever else he has, i see no problem putting down 300

You have a 1995 that ECM REALLY BENEFITS FROM A TUNE, NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE.


I would highly recommend an adjustable fuel pressure regulator as well as new O2 sensors.

The 94-ups ECM like to run lean at the top as I have personally encountered that while tuning, and while adjusting the tune to compensate, without the regulator, things were more difficult.


Even though the auto tranny takes more power away than a Manual, you can benefit from no shifting errors, over revving, and traction in first issues.

if you port and polish the heads, match the intake, custom grind cam and full bolt ons you shouldnt have a problem...my buddy made 292 wheel with Kris Starnes PnP gt40xs, matched cobra intake, E cam and full bolt ons.

if he didnt get a tune, he could be missing out of 15+rwhp

I'd agree that the heads will be the biggest hold up, i'd try to pick up a set of better name brand heads, pretty much any good aluminum head will be better than the GT40s.

In many cases, the Trickflow heads will make more power than box stock GT-40's, probably 15-20rwhp. However, AFR heads are the ones that make great power. However, they are a little pricey. Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads will usually run cheaper than GT-40X heads. When you do any H/C/I you will need to upgrade the fuel system. 24lb injectors, and a 255lph fuel pump would be necc. Stock, the fuel pump is only rated at 88lph, barely enough for a stock motor. As for a MAF, any one would suffice. A Lightning 90mm MAF would be the best option, however, you would need a tune or self tuner(Tweecer R/T, Anderson PMS, etc.) to make it work. Pro-M and PMAS are other decent options.

19 lbs injectors will support an h/c/i but it's not a bad idea to upgrade the fuel system and when doing such choose accordingly based on what your end performance goal of the car will be
