1986 camaro 305 mods

I got a 1986 camaro with a 305. I got modified exauhst, air berather and no air pump. I'm having hooker comp head put on soon. What else could I do to get as much power as I can out of the little 305? would it be best to rebuild the the top half of the engine?

Re: 1986 camaro 305 mods

stick to bolt on's, money spent rebuilding the 305 topend is money that be spent rebuilding a 350 top end. Headers and exhaust are #1, consider a good tuneup, maybe a perf RPM edelbrock intake, but much past that, the 305 isnt worth spending a whole lot on, unless you dead set on keeping it that is.
