Default NOW WHAT ?????????

What should I do to my '77, L-48, 350, automatic, to increase performance and horsepower?

So far I have installed a K & N Airfilter, true dual exhaust, and Hooker Competition Headers.

I drive 2000 miles a year with the Vette, and take the car out of town in the summer.

I'm trying to do one thing at a time, so the cost doesn't hit me too hard.

So far your recommendations have been excellent.

Thanks
Larry (77 RED)

Cam and intake change will be one of the biggest bang for your buck mods (especially considering you already have a free-flowing exhaust). I'm no cam guru but I'd say either a Comp Cams High Energy 260 or Comp Cams Extreme Energy 256 would do the trick. Coupled with an Edelbrock Performer intake the cam and intake combo would really bump your horsepower up.

I'm sure others will chime in... :cheers:

well u know some people will say... "install a new intake... ...."


and thats fine and all...


but you might as well put in a new cam to take advantage of the true duals and new intake.....

cuase if you wanna do it down the road, then your gonna have to pull that @#@$@ intake again...
