Thanks
Hi guys,
I have been reading the forum discussions for weeks now getting new ideas for my red 80 California 305 C3. As you can imagine I have been pretty disappointed with the horsepower since I purchased this car last June. After many weeks of reading what everyone had to say about engines, trannys, headers, interiors, and all other parts of a C3 I just had to do some modifications.
My 383 stroker long block is being shipped to me this week. I already have the Eldebrock performer intake and carb in the garage waiting to be put on. The Jet hot headers and sidepipes should be here in another day or two as well. The 2 ft of snow that dropped last weekend has been a really good excuse for me to stay in the garage to prep the car and clean up the engine bay.
As a write my first thread to the forum, I would like to thank everyone for the great ideas, and I hope to be as much help to you guys as you have been to me!!!!!!

Eldebrock performer intake, Eldebrock 750CFM performer carb, 10:1 compression, flat top pistons, cam lift of .490 with a duration of 292 intake and 300 degree exhaust. It will probably shake the paint off at idle but the piece of crap rice burner at the stop light wont know what happened........ :steering:
