400HP and "STREETABLE" please help
Here's exactly what I want to do. I have a 92 GT and I pretty much just want a street driven weekend fun car, maybe once once a year see a track, if that. I want it to be fast but very "streetable". I would like to see around 400rwhp with a stock bottom end. I plan on getting the trick flow top end kit rated at 350 flywheel hp. I want the street burner intake rather than the track, with of course the stage 1 cam and the twisted wedge heads with 1.6 rocker arms. Along with those mods I plan on having an accufab 75mm throttle body with spacer, pmas 80mm mass air sensor, bbk 1 5/8" equal length headers, h pipe, not sure which mufflers yet, 42# injectors, 3.73 gears or 3.55's (your opinion on either with my setup), new radiator, new clutch, tremmec transmission, msd ignition, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, and a vortech v1 or v3 supercharger with 5-6psi or 8-10psi, whichever will get me to my intended goal, along with getting this all tuned of course. For the suspension I was thinking of a nice rear sway bar, sub frame connectors, and probably upper/lower control arms. Do you think with all of that I'd be about my hp range along with good traction? Let me know if you think this combo sounds good and "streetable" and legal of course. I appreciate any input.

if you want it to be really streetable, i would just pull the heads off and put in some good head gaskets and use arp head studs when putting the heads back on. put a b&g turbo kit on and then do your suspension upgrades and some 3.55 gears. the motor will drive like it was bone stock but will make 400rwhp thanks to the turbo. the b&g kit will set you back $3000. doing it your way your going to spend $3000 on the top end kit and then another $3000 on the vortech. just something to think about

Yeah, that sounds good. And with the Trickflow H/C/I and 10psi will net you 430-450+rwhp easily. Go Vortech V3 if you do not want to tap into your oil pan(You have to tap your oil pan w/a V1 or V2). You'll also need to creat a PVC evac system and run a step colder spark plugs(Autolite 3924 work well for me gapped to .025).

I was thinking about the v-3 vortechs. What if I would just run 8psi on that setup, will that be right around 400rwhp? I don't want much more over 400rwhp, trying to be safe with the block and to be dependable on the street. You think those current suspension mods should be sufficient traction?
