New(old) Third gen on the block

Hello everyone.

About a week ago I just bought a 1992 Camaro RS.

As far as I know it is completely stock 305 TBI V8.

I was curious as to what modifications/add-ons I should put into this car to Make it run some respectable times on a 1/4 mile.

Outside of dropping a larger engine in of course. I plan on dropping a 350 in as soon as I can.



Outside of that, the car seems to be in good condition. Standard issues apply though. It needs to be repainted back to beauty (Dark Teal). Needs a sway bar link as well. From what I have read of the forums i nthe last week, it also seems like a common issue that the guage wires come loose over time as well. I do have to tighten those up seeing as my speedo cuts out on me if I hit a bump in the road, so I have to tap on the dash to get it running again.


Thanks in advance for your input. 3rd gen's are for life.
