Seeking suggestions for some more power...
I have a 95GT convertible with the following:
AFR 165/60cc heads
FTI custom cam
Edelbrock performer intake
65mm T-body
75mm MAF
24LB injectors
190LPH pump
FMS shorty SS ported headers
Bassani offroad X
2.5" flow tubes
Dynomax welded race magnum mufflers
stock 2.25 tail pipes
ASP pulleys
EEC Tuner
K&N w/ homemade inlet tube
FMS HD clutch
4.10 gears
Nitto 245-50-16 drag radials
My best ET with this setup is a 12.73. My best MPH is 106.96mph, and my best 60' on the nittos is a 1.76. I'm adding to the car a tremec TKO tranny, steeda Tri-Ax shifter, and Global West LCA's with del-a-lum bushings. The TKO is replacing my T5 that has a severly bent mainshaft. I'm aware that the TKO usually lowers HP to the wheels due to its beefier nature, but I don't want to slow down due to this, and its added weight. I really wanted to trap 108mph this year, but at a minimum I just don't want to slow down. Anyone have suggestions?
Here are some ideas, but I'm looking for more and opinions on them:
-Get 2.5" tail pipes
-Have my lower intake ported
-Get an aluminum flywheel as I may need a new one anyway because I have already had the stock unit resurfaced twice already.
I had an alum. DS on my car a while back, but with the bent mainshaft it made my vibrations worse. I plan on reinstalling it when the TKO goes in to maybe help gain some RWHP back. I can not mill the heads since my cam's lift is pretty high and my piston to valve clearance is really close.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
