Suggestions for 91 chevy 350

I got a 91 chevy 350 that i am trying to make into a show truck. Right now it has a K&N cold air intake, flowmasters, engine dress up kit and 15inch pacer rims(goin to get 20inch KMC stealths pretty soon). The deal is that i need some suggestions on performance parts for it for under $400. Thx in advance.

I have a '93 former Southern Comfort Conversion that I have converted to my own tastes over the years. As far as performance parts under $400 you have a few routes. Here are a few examples:

Edelbrock Intake Manifold
Edelbrock Heads
Performance Cam
Performance Chip
Headers
MSD Igniton System
TBI Spacer

There are a lot of options. I picked up a B&M Shift Plus for under $50 and with it in High Mode, I can bark 2nd gear and make my rear end kick sideways on dry pavement. And I have 292K miles on mine.

Good luck.

Ceramic coated headers OR (genuine) braided steel lines. Either will eat up most or all of your $400, but both will inevitably have to be added to any engine that aspires to be "show".

I myself have looked into the ceramic coated headers. I remember there being a brand called Jet Hot coated headers that were supposedly top of the line, but have had no luck recently in finding any. Not meaning to get off topic here, but what are some other good brands?

Jet Hot is a coating that can be applied to any brand of header. Some manufacturers offer headers with Jet Hot coating at extra cost - maybe Jet Hot picked a brand to offer themselves.

Interesting thing about ceramic headers. They stay new looking without maintenance and substantially reduce underhood temperatures, making life easy for your hoses, belts, wires and electronics. Problem I encountered is they are NOT recommended for NEW engines.

My new 383 needed the usual 20-30 minute break-in at 2500 rpm. Apparently this long an initial run can harm the ceramic coating, which needs a gentler "curing". You will run into this info on various header makers sites.

Because I need to pass stringent California smog, I got some Edelbrock shorties, stainless steel 1 5/8" tubes with their Ti-Tec coating. This powdered titanium finish holds up well and runs cooler, but not as cool as ceramic.

Biggest problem most people have with headers is keeping them from leaking. A company called Stage 8 makes locking bolts for header flange to cylinder head mounting. They run $45-$50 but work very well. I had trouble with one of the six collector bolts (three per side). Whether it was lock-washered or double-nutted, it would always vibrate loose and fall out. Clearances precluded safety wiring so I finally had a muffler man tack-weld it! If I ever have to remove it I'll just cut it off!

It's all been worth it to me. The truck sounds and runs like a million bucks!
