Hello together!

My name is Wolfgang i´m from Bavarian /near Germany.
Since 2007 i am the owner of a blue 91 Camaro RS 5.0 TBI.
I spend a lot of time in the Car make a selfmade stainless 3" exhaust system, put in a terminator muffler and edelbrock Headers.
One of my hobbys are LeatherCrafting, so i make me a new interior.
Gave him Eibach springs and monroe buffer - good feeling but i´m looking for yellow konis.
OK after 3 Years driving my dream i´m searched for more Power!
The easyest Way get yourself an IROC G92 but this cars are very very rare in germany.
So i found a article in a US-Carpaper "chrome and flames" from a guy who rebuild motors each kind.This guy was a teamate from a Dragstar-Team and after telephone and visiting we make a deal.

So here is my Problem, and i hope somebody can help me!
To the deal...
He rebuild a L83 motor from a 84 crossfire corvette with polishing main- and conrod on the crankshaft,
0.10 big end bearing,
Flattop-pistons with Moly-Piston rings,
performance oilpump,
Edelbrock Performance Cam with edelbrock hydraulic lifters,
Edelbrock Performance valve springs.
and a few things more which i can´t translate =)
The Heads ,intake manifold and the TBI are from the 5.0L original motor...
So after his work i´m happy the power feels good a round 220 HP or more.

BUT! after another 3 years of driving my dream i´m searching for more Power!
The guy who rebuild my motor is away.But i know power is made in the heads a better injection and manifold will help and the CPU is a option.

My question is which Heads fitts on my L83 Block for more power?
Which Intake Manifold?
Which fuel injectionsystem should i take? Stay by TBI or get back to carburetor? Or searching for a Tpi (which is very very hard to find in germany)?
Heads from a 91 c4 corvette?

So that´s my story i hope somebody out there can help me by the many many questions.
Thanks for reading! Sorry for my Ugly English =)

Greetings from Bavarian Forest!

Tagged for interest! I'm in the same boat. I know the previous owner of mine had Patriot Freedom heads and a Comp Cam 268-H and was running quarter miles in 13.3. That's all I know for now though!

Sie müssen aus Aluminium Kopf für mehr Leistung viele verschiedene Arten zur Verfügung AFR sind am besten geeignet, aber auch andere, zum Beispiel DART-RHS sind gut. Bessere Cam und und Einlass. Für einen Vergaser und eine Edelbrock Ansaug- wie ein performer läuft gut für sie, aber man bekommt mehr Kilometer mit Benzineinspritzung.
