I'll tell you alittle bit about my set up I'm running, xr 282 cam, vortec heads (machine work done), scatt crank,1.6 rockers and so on. I'm expecting 430-450 at the crank.

Here's my question

Go carbed with a Holley 750 and an Rpm air-gap intake

^^^approx cost=700$ ^^^
or

Holley stealth Ram =cost including the whole set up running vortec heads.?

 

Would I have to buy the hole 2000+ kit?

 

No you do not have to buy the whole kit. If you just want to do the bare essentials here are the parts and cost.
Stealth Ram manifold #7540 (summit racing) $299.95
Fuel rail kit w/regulator #534-186 (summit racing) $215.39
Fuel line kit (supersportperformance) $119.99
Water neck MrGasket #2661 (PIC) $13.99
Flex hose upper radiator Advance Auto 12228 (PIC) $10.65
Intake gasket $12.99
Antifreeze (1 gallon) $7.99
Permatex Blue Silicone $3.99
5/8" hose barb for heater hose 1/2" thread $2.99
Total $687.93
I got this from Stealthram.com

 

what about the TB

Let me make it more clear. I'm trying to see if i can go with the stealth ram rather then carbed for around the same price. I see 2000 for the kit , how can 687 be everything i need when they have 2000 its such a big diff

 

like everything in this pic

 

You have Vortec heads? I dont think the HSR bolts up to those heads???

 

Holley StealthRam Intake Manifold & Base Plate for Vortec style Cylinder Heads. (Stock Fuel Rails not compatible, must use Holley Fuel Rails) $299.99

They make them now for vortecs as well

 

88 ram air ta, what about a throttle body

 

looks like id need the whole kit to me, cause i need everything in it.. the harness etc

 

You do need a throttle body. They usually run about $400. You could use your stock computer and harness if you can tune cars. You will still have to tune the computer if you get the computer in the kit. But I think it is a little easier to tune.

I wish I was where you are at. I haven't even decided on what I am going to do with my engine yet. I want to finish my Interior before I move on the engine.

 

Yeah I pretty much finished up my looks (still a few odds and ends) and now i'm all about getting this 350 vortec done with the t56. I think i may just go carbed... cheaper

 

no buy all the parts then get a used stock harness. Will still be close to $700 but not less...

 

687 + the tb 400$ = 1087

Upper and lower intake manifolds ? I would really like to go this route but i wouldnt like to exceed 1200

 

thats not including I need injectors , probably a better effecient intank fuel pump. It's really lookin like carbed imo Just cause i'm 17 on a budget.. later on I may go FI when i have the money. This dun look like its workin out with my $$

 

like i explained over at stealthram, you'll need everything as you are converting from a 2.8 v6. nothing you have, except for maybe the fuel pump, will work.
