    Skip the BBK and have your stocker ported. No need for the MSD coils, you will not see a gain from them.

    I&#39;d highly consider at least a 130A GM alt or their 145A alt when you do fans and pulleys.

    I agree, keep your TB and IMO porting is not worth it but thats up to you. Same with the ignition. The E-fans is a good option not for power but for superiority over the clutch fan. As for the pulleys expect 8-10 HP and TQ. If it was me with in your shoes and had some money and had to pick one of those. I would pick the cam, you can pick them up for less than &#036;500 with rods and springs, just dont get too greety. If you got moderate mechanical skills you can do it your self. Dude man, did you ever get the Nelson tune done? That should be one of first priorities after the cold air intake.
    Had a 91 SB, Open diff, 3.08 gears, stock LS1/T56. 14.8@95.9...sold.
    Now, 90 C1500 350tbi/NV3500....just bought a 5.3...need T56, Swap parts.....
