Default 1995 bolt on questions///. not tech!!

so now i got my stang running right, its time to bolt on, i placed orders for a full exhaust headers to tips, CAI , 75mm tb, UD pullies, .. i plan on putting a #19 steeda cam and holley system max intake, my question is would the cam be good for my car with 1.7 rr, and i plan on putting heads soon would the cam work well with a set of aluminum heads , and if so any suggestions on heads? and any other suggestions on getting me into the low 13's - high 12's w/o stroking or power adding??

alum heads with that cam and a good suspension setup should AT LEAST get you into the 12's if not high 11's.

look into a better intake though and if it wont kill you maybe the TFS 2 cam

What heads and what are the cam specs? U wasted your money with a cai unless you bought a real one like c&l or anderson power pipe other than that your stock rubber was fine.

The patriot sbf heads are impressive and cheap! Those the tfs stage2 and a decent intake will definatly help but you need gears if still stock!

No nag man we all have questions! Yes the 19 is a tweaked bcam and most aluminum heads peak about. 550 lift. The smaller cans are targeted for a closer to stock head. Summit has the patriots for like 950$ fully assembled there basically Afr heads same ports and bigger intake vlv. I just used a set on a 306 fcam and oh no a stock intake in a 95 and it was very impressive to be so chocked off!

no, 3.55 will feel stock to you
unless your gonna turbo or get a blower.......
do 3.73's if you get scared really easily
or 4.10's if you want the most out of your build

Well I haven't ever felt a 3.55 that felt like a 2.73lol. There are more things to consider on gearing than feel! Your car stick or auto?
