wow.... ummm no

RHS 180cc heads (moderate flowing heads, there are much bigger out there), Comp Cams 281HR 35-302-8 cam (again very moderate cam, good lift for a street motor and retained the vacume at idle very well), FRPP Cobra upper and lower (Very base intake, nothing special, many many intakes out there are better), Scorpion 1.6 Roller Rockers, 30# injectors, full exhaust, and I laid down 347.8 peak RWHP.

I didnt need a Big *** Cam, and high CFM heads, and LOTS o' Fuel.

Build a setup with recommendations from a reputable local machine shop. They will always steer you in a good direction. And whatever you do, get a dyno tune when you are done, You will be glad you did.

Id go wit the steeda 19 cam. Only cam thats made just for ours cars... I got a 94.... Heads really depend on if you plan to boost it. I was going to get rhs 180's like adder said but im too big of a wuss to notch my pistons so im getting some gt40x's cheap from a friend with the 64 chamber. 9psi KB is my intake.

Notch the pistons? Holy cow man do I need to know more lingo haha.
But seriously, if the car I get isn't already modded, then I plan to boost theengine with either TC or SC, eventually.

My buddy made 360 to the wheels with a 306 very ported twisted wedges (lots of money in them), holley systemax, and anderson n91 cam with long tubes and very aggressive tune. He goes 11.70-11.80's in the 1/4 in his 3000 pound coupe.

The trick flow kit will work on a 94 stang and I finished installing one not to long ago....however the cam in the kit is not the most ecu friendly a better cam choice made specifically with the 94 stang in mind is the steeda 19 cam if you coose to use the cam in the trick flow kit which does give a nice sound...be prepared to have the hunting/surging idle tuned out.....the 94-95 ecu are touchy when it comes to cam choices

I, too recently put on a Trickflow Kit(Heads, cam, GT-40 Intake). I have a 95 auto and the TF STG-1 cam didn't give me any driveability problems. I've heard, many people have problems with this cam and the 94-95ecu. This cam has even solved my idle/die syndrom that these two years are famous for. As for a good setup, try some ported AFR's, custom ground or TFS-2 cam, and a Holley Systemax Intake. This should get you 310rwhp at least. I've heard Brodix makes good heads too.
