You're making decent power now, so a head and intake upgrade, and a good exhaust system will do a lot for you.

Here's what I'd propose:

Intake: Edelbrock Performer

Heads: Edelbrock Performer 1.90" valve, AFR 165, Trickflow Twisted Wedge

Cam: stock, with 1.7 roller rockers

Exhaust: unequal length shorties, 2-1/2" catted H/X-pipe, 2-1/2" cat-back.






Lastly, what gearing is in the car? With the AOD, I'd go 3.73 or 4.10.

Intake , I like that . Heads, I would be fine with except that they don`t use steel spring seats and some how shrapnel in the engine is, well ,A BAD THING. We agree on cam and rockers. I like your choise of exhaust. Rear already a 373. Dont want to by EDLE heads and the have to machine in steel seats. Me and you are VERY close though in the set up!! Thanks
