Default Head/Cam combination for 92' GT with KB blower

My gf's dad build up this car and when he purchased his other fox gave it to her. I think there can be more squeezed out of this car with the proper H/C combination.

Car is currently as follows..

Kenne Bell blower @ 8psi
SVO alum heads
small cam (i think it may be an e303)
shorty headers
stock H pipe
mac catback
stock auto trans w/shift kit with stock stall

I was leaning toward a better cyl head like an AFR 185, some LT headers and getting rid of the cats etc.

Could you guys offer me some advice? I am pretty ignorant other than the basics on SBF's most of my experience is with modular/Lsx platforms

I didn't move your thread to the wheels and tires section.......we use the 5.0 section solely for tech probs/issues one is having with their ride, maybe this will help define it better

with a blower you need to get the biggest heads you can afford, largest headers you can fit and the biggest lower intake you can get. the larger everything is the less stress on the motor due to heat. the less heat, the more efficient and the more power it is. you also want this because KB's are notorious for heat soak and loss of power because of this. proven over and over on consecutive dyno runs and quarter mile runs without cool down.

i'd look into some TF highports if you inline valve reliefs or some CNC TW 225's, custom billet cam(it'll probably be something with short duration, high lift and further lobe seperation), and port the hell out of your lower or get a better lower and port the hell out of it. headers i'd get some 1 3/4" primer x 3" collector long tubes MINIMUM. otherwise i'd get some 1 7/8 or 2" x 3.5" collector slip fit and get adapter plates to make them fit. 3" + exhaust dumped with a flow through style muffler, like a glass pack


that would be a monster and probably put your block in jeopardy...boss or dart time!

This is DEFINITELY custom cam territory for power. Use a head with large ports, then get a custom cam ground to account for the large heads and boost. It's effectively what's known as a Miller Cycle Engine(using positive displacement blowers on engine setups, controlling cylinder pressure etc...Google it).

Though, with a custom cam and something like TFS FAC 190's you could easily blow a stock block apart with a KB.
