Alright, my deployment time is running short and I should be home in the next couple of months. I would like to start buying parts for my 91 LX so when I get home I can start building it. As of right now it is bone stock. I bought it off of my neighbor for 1000 bucks. I have been doing some research and I think I have narrowed it down to a few choices. Please let me know what you think.

GT 40 heads -ported
Cobra upper and lower intake-ported
E303 cam
Longtube headers
H-pipe and dynomax exhaust

I don't want to spend a whole lot of money, but would like to get at least 300rwhp. I might evenduatly go with a sc or turbo. Really haven't given that any thought right now. I will have to convert it from an AOD to manual....will the T-5 hold up? I will be running 3.73 in the rear. This will be my daily driver. It is about a 20 mile commute to work.....please let me know your input and will this setup hold up down the road when I decide to do force induction.

I would sub in some ferrera 6000 valves on the gt-40 heads and a custom cam and port the cobra intake and a custom tune and then your combo should be close to the 300rwhp mark with the right supporting mods in addition

if you have the money, i would either build the T-5 with a G force kit, or get a tko 500/600 for durability! your combination sounds pretty nice, dont forget the small things though like fuel pump, injectors, maff, TB, cai....yadayadayada
