hey i was wondering if you guys knew were can i buy good performance parts for my 88 tbi engine ita 5.0 l.i need some site to see or some shop down here in miami florida were i live
what has been done to it if anything, what tranny, condition of the car.
usualy on a car with 100,whatever thousand miles on it, a good tune it will really help the car out.
after that, cheap/easy mods are the ultimate TBI mods listed in the tech articles on the site.
the other big problem with TBI cars is the exaust, to put it nicely, the exaust on TBI blows.
a pair of headers (hooker and edelbrock make emisions legal) if you don't have to pass emisions, headman makes some that are very cheap. also a 3" high flow cat (again no emisions, ditch the cat) catco makes a nice unit for aroune $80 (summit). and then a 3" catback (hooker, flowmaster, dynomax, slp, ect) there are alot of option for catbacks, you will want to search the exaust board to help pick which one is right for you.
after you have exaust done, gears and posi. ditch the 2.73 or 3.08 peg-leg, and run 3.42 or 3.73 and posi, it will make a huge diffrence.
that should get you started and about 800 bucks in the hole.
