Hello all, long time lurker!
Just as the title states, I picked up a decently modified 95GT 5 speed that's been abandoned for 10+ years. Found the car around the corner from my folks and bought it for $1500 on the spot without even opening the hood. The car came with an Arizona title, but is now registered here in so-cal on a non-op. Just need to get it smogged now.
Here is what I am working with
The car has a new engine in it, block is painted black, freeze plugs look brand new, all fasteners are ARP, GT40x heads, crane cobra rockers, trickflow track heat intake, 24lb injectors, 75mm Granatelli MAF, aluminum drive shaft, aluminum radiator, accel coil, ford racing plug wires, MAC shorty headers, T4m0 computer with unknow diablo chip, and a few other things. Camshaft??? unknow at the moment. janky welded straight pipe exhaust with two replacement cats, no mid pipe, rusted magnaflow mufflers and tail pipes that stick out a mile past the bumper.
this was someone's baby but was abandoned for unknown reasons.
I am in the process of tearing the engine out, all of the smog equipment and egr is there. The factory colored vacuum lines are cut and spliced with blue silicone hose, but I have another set I got on ebay. I kinda went nuts on ebay and picked up way too many OEM parts thinking it would fail the visual inspection. I have a factory air box, maf, spare throttle body, upper and lower intake and I picked up a brand new set of BBK unequal length headers just for the CAR-eo. The MACs on the car look like crap and the carb-eo plate is so worn I couldent make it out.
I would really like to run the combo of parts i have but possibly needing to swap the intake out i got to thinking about the engine combo. aside from the gt40x heads its damn near a cobra with the injectors and rockers so I jumped on a 95 cobra computer. I was planning on buying a stock replacement cam, melling SYB-51 and just running that with the 24lb injectors and swapping in the GT intake. of course I want more cam, hell the engine might have a "letter cam" or might be stock, who knows, I have absolutely no idea what is on that diablo chip and cant run 24lbs on the GT computer or stock MAF.
so what route would you take?

I have already completed everything suspension wise, BMR on car adjustable upper and lower control arms, spherical housing bushings, BMR torque box reinforcements, BBK bolt in subs with seat supports, Maximum motorsports K member brace, ford racing 3.73 gears, cobra front brakes, poly control arm bushings, new ball joints, sve coils, sve bump steer, sve caster camber plates, steeda strut tower bar, and lots more.
