im bettin i can easily get low 13's with afr 165's.... trickflow street heat intake... tfs1 cam..... bbk 255lph fuel pump... and 3.73 gears in a 5 speed hatch

Oh yea, no problem there. Id got with a track heat intake though, mind as well...because your going to want to go faster eventually. So that'd be thinking ahead. Keep you from buying something twice. But thats just me.

the supercharger would be cool, but you will be limited if you want more boost without the supporting mods. I would do the h/c/i and get the same power as the s/c and if you want more, do the supercharger later.

im thinkin h/c/i is the better route and i can hide it from my dad easier ..... the trackheat intake sounds better too........ im thinkin i can put 320 rwhp don with this combo and the other small supporting mods like cai, tb, maf and so on

I think that's a little optimistic with that cam choice.

you want 320, your going to need a bigger cam. But its doable. Just gotta put your parts together correctly.
Just remember, a bigger cam merits bigger intake and heads for it to breath. But 165's are fine, no need to go bigger unless your going to stroke it.

Try a Comp XFI cam....lol...that would be great [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Nah, try one of those Comp XE or whatever they're called, their in the 550ish lift area. That would do you some good. But good luck with stock pistons.
