Hello New to Site, Have a question
First off I'd like to thank QWKSNAKE for the invite to his site here. I currently have an 89 gt and moving to Lynchburg TN, anyone else from around that area? I had a vortech s/c on my car until it was stolen, now I would like to build the car up to at least 300 rwhp n/a. I'm going to take the block to Mike's Speed Shop in Murfreesboro TN(www.mikesspeedshop.com) anyone used him, and can you tell me if those prices are reasonable on his site. Then install either D.S.S. engine kit or a federal mogul kit from summit racing, they both are forged but the D.S.S. is $50 more, which one you guys reccomend. then AFR 165s and Edelbrock Performer intake, and then a custom cam to make it all work together. I would like to keep it streetable, but also have some balls at the track if it ever sees one. What are your thoughts on this? Also I'll probaly hook a 150hp shot of juice up to it too. All comments and suggestions are appreciated, thanks!!

Re: Hello New to Site, Have a question
I'd go with AFR 185s, personally. They'll perform great with that setup, and even better if you add a power adder down the road.
Welcome to the site.

Re: Hello New to Site, Have a question
I'm thinking the 165's are the way to go for the street. I talked to Brian Rogers from BBK and he has a 92 cobra with a 331, 165s, SSI intake, custom cam, and he said he raced a viper on the street and they stayed neck and neck all the way up to 120mph. I don't think I'll see track use but maybe a few times a year.

Re: Hello New to Site, Have a question
i am planning to drop a 347 in my car and i'm pretty much set on the 185's 1500-6500 RPM range i believe....might be wrong but its pretty good for the street and will last you all the way up to the redline

Re: Hello New to Site, Have a question
Hey, I have a '92 Cobra
Can I ask why everyone wants AFR heads? They're nice, but for $1300, they should be. For what you want, the Ford GT40X heads would be great. I have seen them for $999. Saves a good bit and will do the hp you want. As for DSS or Summit; there are other choices there too. Do some more research before deciding.
