Save your money on a throttle body. They're rated to handle ~450 hp.
You need to get rid of the air restrictions.
Exhaust first and then intake.

What setup do you have? TPI? TBI?

I went custom on my exhaust so I have no brand preference.
Either port the heck out of all your intake pieces (many threads of info) or replace the parts with aftermarket (many more threads of info).

Re: need info on go fast parts??

If you can burn your own and use the wealthy knowledge base here i'd say go for it.
When it comes to buying a chip, do a search on what people think are actually worth the money. There are a lot of posers out there. Jet, for example.

You don't actually have to have mods to make your car run better if you're burning your own chips.
