-BBK Long Tubes
-BBK O/R X-Pipe
-JLT High-Boost Intake(Swaping out Carbon Fiber JLT)
-80lb Deka Injectors
-Leathals 1200rwhp return fuel system
-Metco 2lb Lower(have 4lb but dont know if stock longblock can hold)
-Auroforce Interceptor Gauge W/ steering col pod and Wide Band Kit

Its a long list of mods for me and alot of money. But i'm so excited to see how she responds.
Current mods are
-2.9 Whipple with stock 3.5 upper and stock size Metco lower
-60's
-BAP
-SCT 3000 Big Air MAF
-typicle cooling mods(H/E, Res tanks, etc)
-BBK Catted X-Pipe
-Flowmaster Cat back 2.5inch
-Metco Idler set
-FTBR complete rear kit
-BF IRS Brace
-3.73 rear gears
-JLT CAI Carbon Fiber(As stated above)
-McCloud RXT Twin Disk
-MM Full Length Sub Frame Connectors
-I run 315 Micky Thompson DR out back

I'm probibly missing some things but I made 621/542 on this set up and on 100 oct. I'm hopeing that with me running E-85 and the mods i've purchased I'll be above 700hp and above 620tq.

What does everyone thing? any opinions or suggestions. What is some other people with the same mods getting?

Nice list but I would also skip on the bbk's, if you can't spring for stainless headers I would go with Mac's.

x2 on what everyone else said, skip the bbk's and go mac or pacesetter ceramics. similar prices but better quality from everything i've seen.

sounds like a very good list tho. a 2.9 with a good boost level and e85 should have no issues crossing the 700whp marker!

Wow... seems like everyone is knocking the BBK headers.. I chose the BBK because they not only where recommended by my tuner but as well i've spoken with a few people locally that say the BBK Longtubes are very good. Hmmm got me really questioning my BBK choice....

Coming for the king? =)

I"m coming for my buddy's 95 GT w/ Stroked Windsor running a centri. He's got a best of a 10.7 @138. Made something like 646/635 with a full drag suspension. He's been tough to beat for a long time but i'm hoping even though he's got a little bit of weight on me that I can ovepower him. :dancenana:

Oh yeah forgot to mention that he is tuning it on str E85. The station close to him never sold out of his summer blend and he stocked up with a 50 gallon drum. Should make good power...
