Upgrade list

[the88bird]

Hello everyone! So I am going to be selling my project boat that I have to support my thunderbird project. I plan on getting $2000-$2500 for my boat but here is the question! What to purchase for my street/strip 400hp goal? I'm unsure if I updated my signature so I am going to go ahead and say what is done to the car already. 88 Turbocoupe stock block, stock head, gutted upper, walbro 255, FMIC, manual boost controller, 3in exhaust, top mount header, HX35..... I think that's it. So I know a BoPort head/cam combo would do wonders for the car but that basically takes up the whole budget without any supporting mods. Here is what I have so far...

1. PIMP

2. STAGE 3 CLUTCH

3. Lower intake gutted

4. Injectors
(not sure what size)
That's what I have so far. I know it leaves a little bit of money left but I am pretty sure there will be some unexpected things that come up with the car. Any ideas on what could help, if this seems like a good plan or is there something that I am missing? Thanks in advance

Unfortunately you'll need more money to reach your goals since you'll need the head/cam and the PiMPx/injectors/intake at minimum. Without the head/cam you'll need to run like 30psi to get there (obviously can't do that on pump gas). To get the head/cam but not the PiMPx you'll never have enough fuel flow or the ability to measure airflow to get anywhere near there.

Yeah I understand that my goal can’t be achieved without the head/cam but I am just trying to see if I am on the right track. Or if I am missing anything that I should be purchasing.

I also thought about water/meth injection instead of race fuel

[Stinger]

That should be all of the main pieces.

You'll need at least 80 lb or 850cc injectors.

Water/meth is fine. PiMPx can control a meth pump and turn it on at whatever boost pressure you want so you don't need a "controller", you just need the most basic water/meth kit.

Bringing this back up. I have an opportunity to buy a Engle TCS-65H cam for $75. With this work with my stock head without any other modifications? Would this be good for my setup?

[Stinger]

It's just a little larger than stock, certainly not something for 400hp goals.

Go to know. Thanks
