So some extra money came in and I have about 3000 to spend on parts for my 1995 5.0 GT convertable. I am looking for all kind of suggestions on what to put that money towards. I already have a flowmaster cat-back system. I am looking for possibly rotating assemblies, top end upgrades (cams, heads, intakes, etc.), and likely exhaust (headers, x-pipe). Since you guys are already rockin the 5.0 upgrades, what would you do with my car if you had 3000? I will need to include a rebuild if I don't put a new bottom end into it because it has a lot of miles.

rock on

 

ok 1000- suspension
and the rest either a h/c/i kit, or s/c

 

+1 on suspension

 

I forgot to mentionthat I have performance shocks and struts. Before I do anything like a supercharger, I would certainly want to do modifications that would benefit the engine normally aspirated, such as a rotating stroker kit with pistons, crank, etc. As far as top end kits, do you all know of any specifically to look into? Thanks

 

the suspension is gonna be a key part... you can make all the power in the world and still run a low 14 cuza ur stock suspension.... or do suspension, and stock motor and look at 13s....

so i suggest... 1000 in suspension(u/l control arms, springs, shocks/struts, subframes)
and the rest on a top end kit(or you can piece your own together) or a 6psi supercharger... both will get you ABOUT 300whp, depending on specifics...

and that set up will have you hitting low 12s

i forgot to ask... auto or stick? if auto, spend some of that on trans ****... our aod guys will tell ya wuts up w. that...

 

it is a stick...


do you have any insight on specific part brands or where to look for them? thanks

 

ok 1st... stroking it would be bad ***... and 2nd... the stock bottom end is stronger then the stock block.....

 

sorry my dial up is slow,lol

what parts in particular? top end ****? sc ****? or suspension?

what exactly do you want from the car? daily driver? track car? drag strip? street/strip?

what kinda power do you wanna put out, what do u want it to run?

these things will help w. answering more questions for ya

 

summit has an Eagle rotating assembly that is around 1300 and bumps it up to 341 w/o boring it over. that should be pretty sweet, get some extra power, as well as getting several extra rpm's on the top end. the only top end kits i have seen that are respectable on summit are the ones by trick flow at about 2300

any other suggestions would be appreciated.

It is goinng to be for a daily driver...but a sick daily driver...

i am hesitant to do a SC right now, and would like to focus on the other mods instead

and of course...power is good....very good

 

how many is alot? the 302's can handle nitrous with over 200k on them! (depending)
