it all depends on how wild u want to go
if your talking about some pro action heads,mild roller cam,right intake i would say 475 with 10 to 1 compression
and thats a mild setup.

but it all comes down to what are u looking to do with the car every day driver,weekend street/strip or strip car.

all what am looking for is a daily driver that got some balls and that the total price of car + mods to get it into mid to low 13's would be reasonable ($3000-$4000).

i found quite a few TPI 3rdgens in ranging price from $1800-2500. so i will have about $1500-2000 left for mods.

Stealth ram and headders puts you in the low 13's on the tpi car. I think there is more potential in the TPI car than the fox just due to it being a better platform to begin with.

Yeah am sure, 350TPI good condition. Heck, i found many lt1 4th gens in a very good condition for around $3500. One thing i dont like about 4th gens is that they are expensive to maintain and they break very often!
