American Muscle has a good packge, and so does Modularpowerhouse.com with their mongoose kit. And yes you could get a set of blower cams from really any of the major cam companies, its really your prefrence on price and such.

 

If you do heads/cams/intake along with a blower...youre asking for trouble. You'll be making way to much power for the stock internals to handle. So either forego the h/c/i combo and put that money towards internals, or skip the blower for now and do the h/c/i combo with new internals and then save for the blower. I'd do the later of the two, but thats just me liking to prepare for the power before i actually make it. I mean a centri blower at 8-10lbs of boost is safe on the stock block, but not with heads/cams/intake. People on here are pushing it with blower cams and a supercharger, let alone heads and an aftermarket intake manifold. I think you should think about what you wanna do first and go from there. I'd do the rotating assembly and h/c/i combo first that way you just save for supporting mods and then decide on what blower or turbo you want to buy. Just make sure youre compression is about 9.2:1 for centri blowers or turbos(turbos you might wanna be a little lower) and somewhere in the 8.5:1 compression ratio for a twin screw like a kenne bell, or somewhere in the 8's for compression.

 

^^ yea i agree with teej. Thats what imma do when im plannin big power. I was just giving him info on places to buy the stuff lol. Me myself am gonna do a KB...just cuz i love the wine and look of em! Oh yea and the power lol.

So buy a shortblock first my friend you 'll thank us later.

 

So basically build the internals, like forged pistons, crank, rods etc., upgrade the intake and heads, throw some cams on (whats the real difference between blower cams and regular Comp stage 2 cams?) and then add the blower when the motor is ready. what size t/b & plenum would be optimal fpr a blower set up? And I hear 42-60lb injectors are the best to go with as well. I hate to sound like a newb, I just wanna make sure I get this done right.

 

also, when it comes to choosing the right heads, what should I consider? I have looked into Patriot Performance heads but like I said before, are they a good match with a blower set up?

 

if you're spending that much money on heads, might as well spend extra and get the new trick flow twisted wedge heads (unless you want the cheaper heads for budget reasons). there have been mixed reviews on the patriot performance heads, if i were going to go with ported stock castings i'd buy fox lake before patriot.

when it comes to cams, the blower cams are designed with forced induction in mind... in other words, you don't need as much valve overlap due to the fact that you have a blower forcing air into the cylinders.

if you run an n/a cam with a blower, it'll still make more power than your stock cams, but you'll be pushing some of your intake charge right out the exhaust before the exhaust valve closes.

if you KNOW you'll be going with a blower, put a set of blower cams on your car when you rebuild the motor. they won't be optimal for an n/a setup, but i'd be willing to bet they'll still make more power than your stock cams on an n/a motor.

 

They will make more power n/a than stock cams. But definitely buy trickflow heads over patriot, i'd even go as far as saying to buy fox lake ported trickflow heads and then pair them with a set of Cushman Motorsports custom blower cams and then put an edelbrock intake manifold on top, or just use the stock PI intake manifold if youre planning on going with a kenne bell in the future.

As far as the question about the tb/plenum you want, first you must decide what kinda blower you want. You have the twin screw kenne bell or you have the centrifugal superchargers like vortech, paxton, procharger, etc. If you go with a kenne bell, i would say go for the 2.8L kit that MPH used to offer...but because of MPH not being in business anymore, i dont know whats going on or if that kit is going to be offered anymore. But it was a pretty sweet setup. But in that case, it would already have come with a TB i think and you would have no use for a plenum. If youre going centri blower, i'd go with dragon's tb/plenum combo that has a monoblade throttle body that are used with cobras and a plenum that adapts it to be used on our cars. Its pretty stout.

 

I think I have a good base to start with now, I'm going to play it smart and prepare for the power teej recommended. If anyone knows more sites I could shop around on that would be great. I like what I saw on Cushman motorsports and Internals on coasthigh.com.

 

Would the Trick Flow Track Heat work with that single blade t/b?

 

Yes, they are offered in single blade t/b or in twin 57mm. Just specify which one you want when you purchase it. I have the manifold and I have it with a 62mm bk throttle with a jlt ram air intake.
