ORIGINAL: 93stallion302

You sure u wanna do that on speed density?

why not?

anyway, yea i just did an h/c/i on my SD car, nothing crazy at all, but that doesnt mean you cant go crazy w. it. im shooting for ~270rwhp(n/a), high 12 on motor, and high 11 on spray(just a 100 shot), i just used gt40 ****, and a decent cam

basically heres your guidelines
heads-w/e you want
intake-w/e you want
cam-a select few, crower 15511, comp xe270, steeda 19, there are more, thats just off the top of my head... or ofcourse a custom deal from a cam grinder, either a big name like comp/lunati/crower/crane/etc, or a local guy, which ever. basically you want to watch the duration and keep it around(or under) .218I, and .224E, at .050. and you want a decent LSA, 114 is good to go... ofcourse you can push those specs as much as you want, but those are the high end, so imo i wouldnt go bigger, unless you want to learn real quick how to trick the map sensor, which isnt fun to have to do...when it comes time for a cam, talk to me, ill help you out as best i can

you wanna keep rwhp under 300ish, just because the 19s cant handle much more, and w. sd you cant swap(well 21.5s work, but yea, when u find a set let me know, so i can get some too)

expect your idle to be around 900-1000,which is a little high yea, but hey its SD... deal with it, or convert to maf([:'(][8D])

um, nitrous is cool, SD cars react to it well, so if ur h/c/i isnt enough, throw a 100 shot(wet) on it...

**** i just typed alot, hope that helps alot, any more questions lemme know

Not to Hijack the thread but since were on the topic...Dime bag im also curious i have a sd car and it would be great if and when i complete my car to not have to spend the aditional cost to converting to maf, does it make much of a difference from aod to a t-5 in what u listed.... and let me get this straight i can grab any heads afr rhs trickflow edlebrocks, any intake manifold, and just be careful on the cam i select and drive the car without it crapping out? thanks for your time in advance.

not sure, never really **** with the whole auto thing...i wanna say yes, but im not sure what that effects... you have to deal with it still operating good under load at idle(in gear), where as we just have to deal w. it idling

and yea, just watch cam choice, and keep it under 300 hp
