Mods to beat Z28/C5's
 
As any one who has read my posts knows, I am getting a KB Blowzilla this summer. I have a '95 GT convertible w/no motor mods. This is a street only, daily driver. What would be the best head/cam/intake set up with the KB? I have to drive it to and from work, and must pass TN emissions(Sniffer). Nothing radical, just want to be able to hang with the new Z28's and c5's.

How much do you want to spend? By the way I would do headers and a high flow cat hpipe before the heads/cam/intake.... There are many diff combos you can go with just depends on how much u want to spend.

Thanks for the input so far, but what I really need to know is what parts will work best with the KB blower. Obviously, if the KB is sitting on the intake, I am not going to get any kind aftermarket intake, so that suggestion is out. Off-road exhaust is not an option, as I must be emissions legal. Headers and exhaust are definite add-ons. Money is not a real issue at this time.

With the Kenne Bell:
80mm MAF
injectors
fuel pump
Kenne Bell switch chip
75mm T-body
1 5/8" headers
Bassani X pipe
Bassani cat back
And if funds alow:
165/60cc AFR heads
custom cam.
My cousin just put a Kenne Bell blowzilla on his 94GT, all I can say is WOW! The thing screams. He has the factory heads, cam, rockers, MAF, injectors, but he has:
3.55's, bassani off road X pipe, bassani cat back, ASP pulleys, HD clutch, and now Nitto DR's. The car would light up the tires at 45mph with ease, that's why he got the Nitto's. The thing to remember with the Kenne Bell is that you need to maximize the inlet to the blower, as well as exhaust. With the above parts minus the heads and cam, you'll see 350+FWHP.

JFYI- with my parts I have now I reguarly outrun 5.0 cobras, and LT1 camaros. I raced a LT1 camaro the other night from about 65mph to 110 and I had 1.5-2 car lengths on him- I think the 4.10's helped though. I'm shooting for 350FWHP with my new AFR heads and Ed Curtis custom cam, plus the parts I already have. I should run 105+mph and have the HP to run high 12's if given ample traction- this is LS1 territory http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif
