I just bought a used 1983 ??Barelita??. It has a stock 305 V8 4 barrel Carb, stock exhast, stock every thing. Well my question is what should I do with $400 dollars to get the highest horse power gain. I think the biggest choke point on the car is the dumb stock exhast, thats why Iam posting this here. What parts would you recomend?

 

o yea I live in Texas so i dont think emission laws are a problem here.

 

I'd get some hedman headers($200) and then maybe a new cam from summit racing, cam and lifters are about $85 bucks. You should get some good hp and tq increases from em.

 

I think I might just do that but I have a couple more questions?

Would this provide a significante increase?
Would I need to worry about any thing because i have a 3 speed automatic?

Edelbrock Performer EGR Intake Manifold(Do i need the EGR if i live in Texas?)

it depends on what part of TX your from. some parts of TX do emissions test.
