Need more power - new engine coming
Im building my 351w and want some feed back on what I am planning so far.
I will be N/A for now but want the ability to go turbo or supercharged in a year or 2 (maybe sooner if I want the power).
I will be putting all this into my 94 gt
-Trick flow street heat intake
-Heads - AFR 185 or possibly trick flow twisted wedge (I have been hearing alot of good stuff about the AFR stuff recently so I am swaying that way right now, but they are a bit extra money, will go TF if the performance is not much different)
-351 short block - forged interior except crank and possibly stroked to 393 or 408 (whats the reliability issues between these, if im going to the trouble of a bigger engine might as well make it as big as possible)
-Custom cam made up.
-1.6 rockers
-I was thinking of a comp ratio of about 9-9.5:1
and then of course the supporting mods like hood ,3 1/2 rise should be enough, oil pan and what ever else i need (big list here)
I plan on going out and getting the shortblock in a week or so
I am open to any suggestions by all. I figure I am going to budget about $5-7000 to start and see where I go from there. this is one of my daily drivers right now so I want to keep it fairly reasonable.
Ill end the post here since its starting to get kinda long.
