New '94 GT, want 400horses, help!

[Jrgunn5150]

I ran a Vic Jr carb intake on my Fox, ran great full weight no problems at all, my ex gf drove it.

What would the driveability be on a setup like this? My guess is that it depends alot on the custom cam but would it be kinda rough in idle-low rpms?

Like you said, it depends on the cam design. One of the advantages to a custom cam is you can tell the designer "I would like my car ______" and then they will take that into consideration when they go to pick your cam.

You're trying to get 400HP from a small block 302 so don't expect it to drive like a stock mustang. One advantage of boost is you don't need to build a lot to make the numbers you want.

OR you could do a mild H/C/I setup and bolt a blower on, all for a few grand and be over 400whp with alot better curve, no driveability issues, but different strokes for different folks.

This right here. I have a trickflow HCI on mine and love it, needs a tune but driveability is great, power is great, and it defiantly doesn't sound stock. I *eventually* want to throw a mild Kenne bell onto it and get around 350rwhp, which is my set goal with this car, but even at that I would probably end up needing to replace my aging bottom end.

So I was looking around at packages, and I saw the Edelbrock Head Combo for 1800. Its the only combo I could find for carb'd. I was wondering if this would be a good place to start with a 347 stroker kit.

Save your money and do alot more research, have you checked sbftech.com yet?

 

[ProKiller]

why would you want to go carb? pointless to me unless its a dedicated track car. if its a dedicated track car then an edelbrock top end kit is not enough.

Yeah been all over there website trying to pick up as much information as I can. I want to do my build right the first time so that is why I have been asking tons of questions...

nothing wrong at all with edelbrock stuff. victor jr heads which run about 1400 are a hell of a deal and will run circles the tw stuff below 205cc

 

[M1Tanker]

I'd hope so, with a 210cc intake runner and 2.05/1.60 valves.

just the out of the box victor jrs are killer and the price is hard to beat. hell the performer rpms i have on the 66 work great. i got the heads, the intake, cam, matching lifters, all the gaskets for less then 1600 brand new.

He's talking about Edelbrock Performer series part's, which are indeed inferior

I agree that line is definitely inferior, but as an overall Edelbrock makes good stuff. I like the brand, and its a BIG name for a reason. Victor (Jrs or no) are the way to go however. It may be suggested your car is ran at 3000-8000rpm but it can be fun and have plenty of torque from idle on up.

uh my 66 coupe which has a 289, performer rpm heads, cam, intake and a hp holley 650 makes over 300 rwhp through a c4. i wouldn't call them inferior and especially since like i already stated everything except the carb and including all gaskets was 1600 bucks to my door.

but sh1t what do i know

 

[95gtdrop]

the 347 would be a badass choice, if it were me and i had the time/money id do the 351-408stroker.
but thats just me. i love that motor!!!

I agree, I've got the Performer RPM 1.90/1.60s and they are awesome. I made 300 w/ a professional products intake, and 300 torque. I'd like to see what is now w/ the new track heat. Edelbrock is a great product for a reasonable price.
