Default Need Some Suggestions

Since nobody on the SVT forum seems to want to help me out, I'm coming to you guys in the 5.0 forum. I have a 95 Cobra Convert and am looking to modify it. At first I really wanted to just keep it stock, but now I think it needs to be upgraded. The only thing done to it is a full flowmaster exhaust which is how I bought it. I'm looking to end up with 320hp so I have to pick up about 80 since stock is about 240hp. I need some suggestions on how to get there. Can anyone give me a list of parts to get to 320?

Got any suggestions for what kind of heads cam and intake, I'm fortunate enough to live close to Summit Racing and JEGS so maybe I could pick some of these up today...

I like AFR heads... they are also popular here at MF... as far as your particular application i would prefer a motorhead jump in about now cuz heads/cam/intake should be compatable with each other for max performance...

Why dont you want to supercharge it? Good bolt on HP and you wont hurt the value of the car, if thats what you are worried about! You can just take it off if you want to put it back to stock. Plus you dont have to tear the motor out! Just my two cents!

id go with AFRs, FTI cam and probably a TF intake....that would be a pretty good combo....your looking at around 2k if your are willing to spend that much....but HP cost some green

I see what your saying about the supercharger, I'll probably just hold off and get some cash to go with that..... as for now any suggestions for simple bolt ons to boost hp a little....throttle bodes, cold air intakes, hell I'll even take suspension suggestions! Like I said the car is completely stock, so it time to modify.

It really depends on how much you are trying to spend.... but a H/C/I will put you past your goal.

you could do some things like control arms, sub frames, short throw, gears, u/d pullies. they wouldnt really give you more power, but would make your car faster
