gut your cat. Hey its free. Then I would get 3.42 gears. Then it al depends on what you want to do with the car. Do you want to eventually save up enough to get a new engine like a 400 ci small block or do oyu just want to build up that 305?

Im not sure if i want to keep the 305 or not. I want more power and i know i will eventually reach a limit with the 305. I could save for a cam, but what kind of increase vs $ will i see. I want perfomance but also a daily driver that sees 400miles a week. Would it be best to stop with the nickel and dime stuff on the 305 and just save for a 350? I would love to see 300hp while still being able to commute back and forth with decent gas milage.
