was looking at doing the holley systemax 2 top end kit for a first mod on my soon to be aquired 93 5.0. any other suggestions? i figure that should keep me happy enough while im doing suspension and driveline work to make this thing fit for a vortech.
which top end kit?

I really enjoyed that kit. It will really scream in the upper RPM's. I would suggest to advance the cam 4* though to pick up some bottom end in it.
what do you mean "enjoyed" like you no long have it, what did you switch to and why? any better suggestions? whats the deal with the pistons you were saying?

he said since you have a stock bottom end and are planning on a blower, you may want to have forged pistons in case of detonation. I built a new motor and they weren't what I wanted on the motor. Great kit though as said before.
see sig for current configuration.

that doesnt mean anything, your block will go far earlier than those pistons anyways so dont worry. its all in the tune.
I would 100% go with the TW setup. It builds great power works well with boost and the heads will allow you much more room for cam size later on. Maybe think about getting an anderson s/c cam that would be a great combo with some tw heads and intake. Oh and I have run 500+hp on a stock 93 short block, just make sure your tune is good. Its at the edge but it can be done.
Twisted wedge heads have almost unlimited potential, they can be cnc'ed in the future to meet the needs of a 347.
Me personally, i'd use TW's (better yet track heats, same head better springs), custom cam, rpmII or rpm intake, done right you can probably get around 325rwhp.

I did the trick flow kit and switched the cam out and made 345rwhp and 349rwtq
what cam did you run? I'm a firm believer in AFR heads.. plain and simple. There design is more appealing to me then the other heads. a set of 185s with a blown motor would be
