As i said before i have a 87 gt 5-speed. Cold air intake,70mm throttle body and spacer, underdrive pulleys, smog pump delete and 4.10 gears. I"m not lookn to build a drag car just something to play in. I have next on my wish list long tube headers and h pipes with 3inch pipes. I would like to also put a cobra upper intake on it. If my budget allows a set of heads. I would like to install a electric fan and water pump as well! What do u guys and ladys think of my list?

I would hold off on the electric water pump if it is a street car

ok thanx. What other info you got for me?

If you go with a Cobra intake, make sure it is ported to match the heads. If you are planning something like a gt-40 or gt-40p head, it will work fine in stock form. Other things would be a cam and valvetrain upgrades.

or just save the cash and put nitrous on it.

I am curious as to how a 70mm throttle body is on a stock intake. I never have measured one to see how big they can go but, I doubt it will take a 70mm. A cobra intake doesn't even have a 70mm throttle body opening.

It seemed to make the car run smoother through the power band. It has a quicker throttle response also!

Was the intake machined to accept it or was it already a 70mm opening on the intake?

If I were you, I'd stiffen up the chassis a bit and do the suspension work. I've read and had many recomendations to do suspension and such before you really dig into the motor. And suspension really changes performance too, it can help get the power to the ground without spinning.
