selling the 6, buying a TPI car.

I;m finally selling the 6 after a big headache(see the V6 board for setails) and getting a 305 or 350 TPI firebird. Since the state has emissions as **** as California I wonyt be doing many mods, I will however be adding and airfoil,catback,ignition box,accell wires cap and rotor, and a cold air system. I am also considering power pulleys and 1.6 roller rockers, I figure if these cause roblems with emisions I can always take them off without to much work. Since I wont be doing major mods I really dont mind the 305 because in alot of years the 305 makes only 15-20 hp less than the 350. If I was planning on doing major mods I'd definitely get the 350, but finding a clean looking firebird 350 is a hard task, so I will take either engine.

Forget the power pulleys on an automatic car, and I wouldnt put them on a stick shift car either. They work for race cars, but they might cause charging problems on daily driven cars. Your other mods are great. If I can do all this to my car and still pass CA emissions, you should be in good shape with your mods.
