Not my first modified car, but id say its the most worked one yet. 2nd stang but i dont count the first one cuz i was like 15 and bought some piece of sh** 4 banger for 500 bucks. anyway, let me know what you think ....

I'm guessing 275 hp.

Quik

its way more then 275 hp if thats what you got listed. man do you realize with a X cam and 1.7s youre around .572 lift!!!!!!!!! thats huge for a 306.im going ot bet if built right it pulls hard as **** above 3700 rpms all the way to redline. thats deff a topend motor with that lift. i hope your heads are ported to match up with that amount of lift.

with a tune that can easily be a 320rwhp motor if not more but this also depends on the port work along with if head work

i would say around 350whp, but its probably way up around 6000rpm. you got all that done with no suspension mods???? also, you dont list youre MAF, but with the 24# inj i know its not stock. how about the fuel pump. has it been tuned, im guessing it hasnt or you would have dyno #s.

jaye24

from what i know everythings matched up head wise .... so thats good to go. haven't been back to the states yet to get it dyno'd and tuned, so i was just tryin to get an estimate off you guys and my knowledge. as for the MAF and fuel pump im really not sure but im almost positive about them being upgraded, i can ask the guy that sold it to me, but like i said ... i havent been back to the states yet to get down and dirty with the car.

and in response to the suspension mods ... all i got is ....

DRAG SHOCKS
Springs - LOWERED 2 1/2 IN
SUB FRAME CONECTORS

very basic suspension upgrades. what would you recommend wild? suspension is an area where im not to knowledgable ... thanks for you responses tho. appreciate it.

it all depends on what you are going to be using the car for, daily driving, drag, stoplight racing. or what. no matter what, you need to upgrade the rear control arms, if its a DD you need to make sure they are non binding street versions, most are greasable which keeps noise and wear down on the bushings. you sure your car is lowered 2.5 inches, this sounds like a whole lot what size tires are you running.
