[Roller6.7]

Ok, first off. My goal is to be between 450-500 HP and be streetable and durable... I'll start off by listing the parts I do plan to get, but first let me tell you a little about the engine....

Now here are the engine specs for those who need to know specific numbers..
Also, my car has the year and car correct 4V intake manifold instead of the 2V..

You might want to try the fox body or SN95 forums. Those guys could probably steer you in the right direction.

That being said.. MM&FF have recently done a couple of 351W build ups. One was a budget build and the other not so much. But they both ended up in the 400-500hp range. Might be something worth researching.

Now here are the parts I am set on so far..

Eagle rotating assembly 408 W
Eagle Specialty Products B14125030 - Eagle Competition Rotating Assemblies - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I originally had my heart set on a Comp-Cams HiEnergy retrofit cam, Victor Jr Intake manifold and AFR185 heads.... But on another site I was informed by 2 seperate people that all I need to do to make my goal is the stroker kit.. To me this doesn't seem right.. People seem to believe these cars where under rated and I don't believe that either.... The intake manifold on this car looks to be restrictive to me and I am almost sure I'll need atleast that along with the stroker kit.... Any help is appreciated, thanks..
