need opinions

I recently got a '91 Firebird 305 V8 (TBI) and wanted to give it some more power. I was told the only worth while thing to do was to put in a 350 V8, which, if thats the case, I can't afford to do until next summer. I just wanted some input on what I can do to give it more power. The best things to add or change or whatever, in your opinions. Thanx.

TBI Board will prolly give you more hits, but I'll try to help too

Depends on how much power you want. If you're looking for 400HP the 305's a long road ahead. But if you're shooting for a lil' more power like 20-40, IMO keep the 305 and work a bit.

Open air element or air induction's cheap. headers and cat back not as cheap but effective (and it sounds good too ) with those two out of the way (intake and exhaust) you could go as far as a cam, rockers, etc...

hope that helps you to start. remember, just my opinion. I'm not even a TBI guy, I just hang with em

Headers, cam, intake, other than that, go with the 350.

I think you will get more help on the TBI board so I am moving this.
