How to build the most rwhp for $3500 I also want to hear the cam

[Tinybim669]

I have a 94 GT 5.0 5 speed with about 130,000 miles that runs great. I want to build the motor to have the most hp possible for $3000-3500. I don't know alot about buying the right components and with the right specs for the components ive invested in. So if someone could basically put together like a kit of the parts i should get for maximum HP for around $3500 that would be greatly appreciated. also an aprox. HP gain with such mods would be great. I am building the car for street/strip purposes.

your first decision is if you want to stay naturally aspirated or if you want to use forced induction.

after you tell us that, then we can start working on a plan for you.

Get a blower kit. If you get the kit for a good deal used, you should be able to get all the supporting mods for under $3500.

I agree with Blackvert you need to decide what direction you want to go but i think the best bang for your money will be forced induction of whatever you choose their are alot of good blowers out there just pick one.

Well ... We've not heard aything from OP

I agree ... blown will yield a good bang for the buck spent

however

OP seems to be just getting started in this hobby

Not so sure ..........
A blown combo would be good choice to cut your hot rod teeth on
