performance on a 92 rs tbi
i bought a 92 rs with a 305 tbi about 8 months back. i thought it was quick then now im bord. iv put about a grand into it fixing problems and i know my electic has some trouble. im looking to give it a little more power im tired of rice rockets taking me off the line. im about to buy a HEI distritbuter from my friend and redo the spark plugs and wires to mds and posibely flowtech heads also. the car already has an edelbrock cat back on it and im trying to avoid that all exzaust ***** sound
im going to school for auto tech starting next month and ocme september ill b abel to rebuild the car from teh gound up and drop a 350 init so i dont want to pour alot of money in it now just enough to give me a little more engine rumble. any help would be greatly apprecated.

Re: performance on a 92 rs tbi
I'll tell you what man, you want cheap easy performance out of a TBI?
1. switch to an open air filter element (Mr Gasket non-drop 14" works very well)
2.Go to the home page on TGO and under the tech articles you will see "ultimate TBI" and "ultimate TBI 2"
3.Exhaust!
4. A stronger ignition system wouldn't hurt.

Re: performance on a 92 rs tbi
if you're shooting for decent power, the 305 as well as your future 350 will benefit from a high-flow exhaust system, including headers, cat and back.
that and the gearing might be good mods to look into. if you will be using TBI on the 350 as well, you'd better get into tuning as well. see the stickies in this board.

Re: performance on a 92 rs tbi
headers, high flow cat, open element will do wonders for the car, start there, once you finish those, ask more questions.
Plus you already have an HEI distributor, unless yours is bad no need to change it. Just do a full tune up. Don't waste money on parts you don't need.
You'll need a professional shop to put the gears in for you, about 200-300 in labor, 200 for gears, 50-100 for a rebuild kit/fluid, 100-500 for a posi unit, definitely not cheap.
Sounds like you are new to the whole thirdgen/car modding scene, been there. Everything you need to know is on these boards, just do some searches. I learned everything about cars on this forum and have since changed headers, intake manifolds, rocker arms, transmissions, full tune ups, etc. Good luck!

Re: performance on a 92 rs tbi
Thirdgens are definitely a great learners car and especially with a TBI, very easy to understand and very easy to work on. I have since upgrade to a 2002 Z28 but took all knowledge that I gained from my 90 RS and applied it to my current car.
