Need as much input as possible

I have acquired a '94 Vert that is completely bone stock......

I'd like to do a heads,intake and cam mod on the car this summer.....

I've heard alot about GT-40 heads and intakes.....opinions?

as always.....I'm on a shoe string budget so I don't have a ton of money to spend......maybe $1000-1500 at best......

I am interested in all opinions .........

Richard, you know what's best. Find some gt40 heads and any upper/lower intake combo you can find within your budget.

Craig.........I am looking at some aluminum gt-40 heads and a completely redone gt-40 intake too.

The car has a brand new h-pipe and exhaust,but I will need some modification when I put the long tubes on.....

That's what I'm running with a B cam and 1.7's, and it has plenty of power for a street car.

This is the mod list:

GT-40 Intake
GT-40 aluminum heads with 1.7's
Trick Flow Stage 1 cam
Mac Headers
24lb injectors
70mm TB

and a bit later.........have the trans completely redone with upgraded gears and a different converter

Stay away from Mac headers Richard, trust me. Get something with a one piece flange instead.
