305 need more power

[teske]

i have a 1988 monte carlo SS with a 305. i need more power out of it. what are some inexpensive modifications that will get me a few extra horses.

dont tell me you cant get much power out of a 305 because guys with tuner cars can get 400 or 500 hp out of a 4 cylinder.

Make your own intake and exhaust.......except dont make the exhaust, because wood doesnt hold up....lol
But seriously, make the intake.....post some pics too
And congrads on your 11th post!!!!!!

Get a K&N filter too

Get forged internals turbo it and nos it, you'll lay down 600hp

[bag91]

I think he said inexpensive mods.....but thats just me...lol
Welcome back Xeno

lol thx bag

oh dude those civics who are putting 400-500 hp down at the wheels have droppled NO LESS then 20,000$

like they said, intake headers exhaust ECU better tires short shifter/shift kit AC delete reduce weight bigger throttle body..


You can't make 'em just 'go fast' for 'cheap' more hp = more money

Else if it took 1500 for anyone to make a 500whp monster everyone would have one! =O!

Its pretty easy, you just have to be creative and understand how the CAI works

[teske]

my car is carburated, will this still work

[92zcamaroperson]

yes. Tbi and carbs are somewhat similar in shape and design.

[92zcamaroperson]

cai and exhaust will give a little bit of noticable power. If you put a different cam in your car you will feel a much greater difference in power and response and it dosent cost too much if you do it yourself. You just gotta find the right cam to match your heads.

[Jcrane88]

we need someone to explain cam selection

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846 theres the book....

or i guess i could type out a condensed version of the cam section.
