I am wanting to get the most power out of my 390 engine to hot rod and drive on the street on a $2 k budget. my car is an 87 thunderbird with a C6 tranny and 345 gears. I have an edelbrock streetmaste intake, i was wanting to get an edelbrock performer RPM intake the cam have is a PBM cam with a intake valve lift of .510 and an exhaut valve lif .536, headers and a 600 CFM edelbrock carberater, i was going to put a holley 650 double pumper on it...is that a good idea or not??? A was going t convert it to a standard witha 5-speed. Any ideas of what would be best for me to do. I need all the help i can get.....thanks!!!

He is an FE expert and can tell you the best way to use 2K to get the most power.
I would assume heads and cam with some porting of your intake would give you the best power in this price range. I know a stroker kit will do it quickly, but I don't think you could afford the stroker kit and the heads to go with it on 2K.
