SFC's would be a waste of money for him right now, or for a while. I say cai, exhaust w/ longtubes, gears, and cam with all the fixins. Then heads TQ converter and suspension. Then spray. Then when it blows up get a stroker. My $.02

IMHO, SFC's should be the first mod to any unibody car that you race anyway, there even more important if you have T-tops. they may not really net you anything but they keep the car from flexing and causing problems later down the road, like T-tops not quite lining up right...

yea... i have t-tops, but what are SFM's and what does IMHO mean? that turbo would be pretty nice but i would rather not run boost on my car where it has so many miles. I would like to find a nice shot of nitrous or bigger throttle body. Dudes thanks for the input!

I own a vert and noticed squat before and after with my sfc's. Ive owned a 97gt vert Mustang for a long time. After years of different setups on it and no sfc's it started to take it's toll. You could see the doors wouldnt close correctly etc. Owning a Mustang makes you believe in sfc's. After tons of research and talking to the guys in the know it has been concluded that sfc's on a camaro is almost a waste of money.

well i disagree, my t-tops do not line up, and my driver door skin poped half way off the car after a hard launch on a et drag. Had to expoy the damn thing back on. My car was cuttin 1.8 60' before most of my mods, this was with just a stall, and muffler. A friend of mine has a pic of his car at atlanta drag strip where it looks like his car has a firebird wing because his hatch is flexing so bad. And his door skin almost poped completly off the car.

After I put my SFC's in the car feels a whole lot better.

But really, what cam would you recommend. The man and his father own a small shop and would be able to swap cams and such. What would make for a great H/C combo with maybe a shot of nitrous in the future?

Please help the man, he lives in mustang country!

Practice driving and it'll get better! My '94 with just a muffler (stock pipes) ran a 9.01@80 mph on a 2.2 60 foot. Some tires and these cars will run high 8's pretty easy.

As for the 347 down the street.. nothing a cam, full exhaust and tuning won't fix
