Re: What should I do?

I'm going to say no on all 5 links.

Do you want to switch to carb? Those rockers are completely unnecessary. The heads are way too big for a 305, you do have a 305 right? I doubt those headers would fit a Camaro, you need to find the longtubes made for Camaros, I think Hooker 2210 fits.

Do some research. Read the stickies at the top of this forum about what to do. Lots of options, but those are mismatched parts in my opinion.

I knew nothing about my 92RS when I got it. Read the stickies and search. Everything about stock vehicles has been addressed at least 300-400 times. If you understand internal combustion, you'll digest faster than I did. I haven't paid anyone to do anything to my car in 4 years.

Re: What should I do?

Anybody on here? Is it just me or is it that my 89 2.8 Rs is faster than my 92 305TBI? I shouldn't of sold my V6 it's faster than this car,accelerates better. But not as good of top speed as this 305.
