Question I'M New and need help PLEASE!

I have a 1996 Bronco w/ 5.8L 351W EFI. I am looking to get more HP. Factory at 210 is BS now. I am all stock outside no lift w/35"s. I have asked a few mechs and they said Supercharger, (whipple). I am looking for someone who knows the engine and options. I just did the whole inside and the T-case, Trans, and timing is new. Can you guys help me?

AFR 165 heads will give you 50+ hp out of the box. While the heads are off you could change the cam as well.

If you haven't already, headers and exhaust make a big difference.

Or a supercharger.

First and foremost, if you haven't already done so you need gears. With that out of the way the next thing to do is replace the whole top end of the motor, heads, cam, and intake, larger injectors, and a tuner to make it all work together. This could put you into the 350hp range depending upon the parts selected, one such combo would be AFR185s, Trickflow R-Series intake with the 75mm TB, Comp Cams 35-349-8, and 30lb injectors.

You'd have to notch the pistons for 2.02 valves on AFR 185's, wouldn't you?

Before even the first thing, find out if you have smog checks and how they work if you have them. AZ isn't as tight as CA, but you'll be pretty PO'd if you do mods that you have to undo to pass. Call me silly...

i want to see pics of a 96 running 35's with no lift. the fenders gotta be cut to run those.

oh and gears would be huge, and they would be the best bang for your buck.
my 94 runs 4.88's with 35's and at 65mph im at 2200rpms in OD
