Modifying my Camaro RS

[AJHD91CamaroRS]

Ok guys ... I recently purchased a 1991 Camaro RS with a V8 350 in it. The body is in great condition but I want to modify the engine a little. I am pretty new to modifying cars and everything but I would like to get into it and I was wondering if anyone would help me as to what I might start with when adding modifications to my car. Any suggestions?

[1992RS]

World products torquer 305 heads, holley 670 TBI unit, Edelbrock performer intake, TBI to 4bbl adapter, edelbrock performer rpm cam, edelbrock TES headers, high flow cat, flowmaster cat back exhaust, mallory 50k volt coil, msd 8.8mm wire custom chip( programed with better fuel mix and advance curve, and low temp thermo) and a 160 stat. I think that's a good starting point.

uummm... he said 350...

Is it TPI or TBI or Carbed?

if it is a 350 I would find a better head then a torquer 305 for it.
Also if it is a 350 dont choke it off with a puny 670 cfm 2bbl tbi unit. Fricking go carb and forget about the computer! It is possible to pass emissions with a carb!!!

torquer 305s are absolute junk for a 350. they are designed to be a high performance 305 head because 305s have tiny bores that can't accomodate large valves like a 350 can. a holley TBI unit would be a waste of money, get a 700 cfm holley double pumper, 1 3/4" SLP headers if you are going to stick with shorties, otherwise, get long tubes, since you've got a carb don't bother with a chip, all your tuning will be mechanical and thus EASIER TO DO. get yourself a set of Dart Pro 1 heads (they are about $1000 if you know where to look), they are aluminum and you can get them as large as 230cc intake runner which flow over 300 cfm as cast! get a nice cam like a 284HR comp cams or a ZZ-409 or ZZ-X TPIS cam. you could make an easy 500 HP with that and have plenty of nice streetability, even get 20+ MPG with an overdrive transmission. then again, if you want to run low 14s and be content, you can do the build 1992RS suggested.

if it's a 350 it should be a tuned port, i think tbi was only on the 305 and some V6's

huh? 670 is about right for a 350, i would wouldn't go any bigger than 750 carb, and even with that you probly wont get it's full potential out of it. carbs suck

yeah they suck so much which is why they are always faster than TBIs

my tbi would stomp your carb. i've had carbs and they are worthless. i had a quadrajunk on my 350, and yes it made pretty descent power...ONCE IT WAS WARMED UP..and after the 4 hours i spent tuning the damn thing adjusting junk thermal choke.

[Twin89s]

theres your problem QUADRAJUNK!
Run a real carb!
And V8punk is EFI not Carb

I have a nice carb setup going in my camaro feel free to bring that TBI garbage down here and run me. If you want I will even run you with my old TBI unit sitting in the seat next to me. Because that is all its worth and all it is. DEAD WEIGHT!

Damn, these guys where finaly right about something, I misread the 350 for a 305.

BRING IT! IF YOU DO YOU WILL BE SHOT DOWN!

[1992RS]

Dude, you've already been shot down. I have the respect of these guys, the guys in my F-body club, the guys that I stomp on the streets and at the track. Why should I need prove my self to you? No one respects you, and after today I'm sure no one will even remember you posted here.

[Twin89s]

Pull your damn head out of your ass.... Aint my problem if everyone here is a fucking lemming and I wont follow you. Does 100 dumbass people following an idiot make the idiot any smarter? No. So pull your head out of your ass and check the links I provided. I havent been shot down. Its just been proven to me that if 100 people follow an idiot then that idiot thinks he is an all power all knowing douche bag.

13 second cars don't stomp anything on the street or track other than imports.
four on the floor, quadrajunk is a predecessor to TBI, they all suck. the only decent induction system GM has ever had was the LT1 intake. as I said before I'm EFI, not carb'd, if I didn't have a daily driver, I would be running a carb. I like getting 30 MPG and running "FAST". your TBI POS must be a big block if you think you can stand a chance.

[1992RS]

Well at least these guys are intertaining.
