I have the 2 piece March but havent driven the car yet. It seems more throttle responsive. march claims a 10-15hp at the wheels. Who knows though.

Yes the prom will make a difference, I have the Ed Wright stage 2. It cost $159. www.fastchip.com

Also, go with an aftermarket catback (preferabbly straight flow muffler). I like Borla or SLP. All stainless steel

I got the 3 piece pulley set and I liked it. Maybe 5-10hp. Its a helper mod.

dude, skip it. DO real mods, like headers, exaust, gears, intake, cam etc...pulleys are for the last, when you are like running border line and you already did everything else. EX: let say you car runs 12.10, then spend 50 bucks for pulleys in hope you run 11.95 my 2 cents, of course...I've been there...and what really works are gears and intake/heads headers/exaust.

good luck...your times are good for a stock car...I wish my 85 could run 99mph with all my mods...snif

85 Z28, 355, edelbrock base, SLP runners (old style) 58mmTB, ported plenum, stock cam, fuel reg, TES headers, flowmaster, 3.73's, shift kit, MSD 6a, 305 hypertech chip (YUUUCK!) best prior intake mods: 14.6 @ 94, 2.02 60' temp: 78deg, 80% moist, on radials.
69SS, black, 3,73's, TH400, 402 BB, roller everything (solid 246@50 622 lift)+stud-guirdle, 67 Vette heads ported and o-ringed, about 10:1 cr KB pistons, should be done this summer, goals: 500hp and lots of fun
