Re: power

i am in the same situation like you with my 87 t/a...but heres what i did (its not a lot and it didnt give me a whole lot of power)

-changed out fuel filter (was original)
-built a cool air induction ($3 plus amount for 3" cone k&n filter)
-changed out original spark plug cables
-flowmaster 80 series muffler
-3" exhaust cut out

i may have gained like 5 hp top end, but she breathes pretty damn good now though, soon to come either flowtech or edelbrock headers w/ the y-pipe
