ok, i need your guys help on how to get some good HP. i already have flowmaster and a street avenger carb. what are some good set-ups for my 289. its gonna be a daily driver but, with with lots of *****!!![sm=gears.gif]
- all suggestions will be gladly appreciated..

 

351, four bolt mains, stroked to 408, high compression pistons, victor jr intake, choose your heads and race gas!





289 hmmm, alum heads, trick flows should work well. a good strong bottom end, forged internals, have someone do a swirl port job for you. i still stick with the victor jr intake, but it comes with a price. what's your budget and what exactly do you wanna get out of it.

 

well im not really set on my budget and i dont think i really want to know but, i want about 300+hp for a daily driver. i need to know specifically what type of heads, cam,intake man., what size bore, ect.....
-THANKZ

 

Air Flow Research heads, Weiand intake, Motorcraft 4100 carb, JBA long tube headers, 2 1/2" dual exhaust with an X pipe. That will get you to the HP range and still be a daily driver for the street.

 

thanks soaring! ok, is there any other good set-ups or is that it?

 

that one will work, and drive nice. The carb is simple and effective. Add a cam that has 214/224 duration at .050 lift and you are golden. It will be a small cam for those heads, but it will idle nice and make good power. Browse summit or jegs for the cam you want in the price you can afford. I recomend the entire valvetrain in one kit. CompCams has that, they are nice.

 

I don't know much about cams, but isnt 214/224 duration a bit mild?

How would a cam behave with .050 lift and duration closer to about 300?

 

Oh, there are as many combinations as there are cars out there. I was just giving you an example. The Performer RPM heads and intake are a favorite of a lot of guys. Edelbrock and Holley carbs are also a fav for many. Hooker headers and others are choices of many. Just be sure you get a single plane intake. I forgot about mentioning the cam. Thumpin is right on the money.

 

can you post some links of the stuff you guys are mentioning... you guys are a big help. thankz

 

yeah, i like the holley street avenger carbs.
