Plenum, runners & manifold
The Plenum aside, not sure what to do there.
but what are some thoughts on these 2 set ups for my '89 vette.

I am seriously considering the F.I.R.S.T unit, it looks like it comes with everything other than a fuel regulator
71mm TB
Is that over kill. I'm doing intake, cam/lifter/roller rockers, LT1 exhaust manifolds into Y-pipe, hi-flow cat and Borla catback system.
Thoughts?

The FIRST set up is a great upgrade. You will also have to change your distributor to a small cap unit if I understand correctly.

Just out of curiosity , with cat back magnaflows and open air filter , how much H.P./TOURQUE would that first setup add on to my 1988 L98 ? would it lose its bottom end power?

The principle to remember is an engine is a big air pump. Air in-air out. Any restriction is power loss. More cfm air in thru an aftermarket intake, runners and throttle body must be matched thru larger intake and exhaust valve heads. Then it has to flow out an unrestricted exhaust system. You will gain some with each improvement but until all mods are completed you will not realize the full potential of your engine.
Good luck!

Somewhere in the first few pages of this thread is a chart that will answer your question.
