Need more power (California Car)
Posted this in another forum but I think I was in the wrong place.
I have a 91 firebird with a 305tbi/5-speed and i'm looking for a little more power. This car is my daily driver, so i'm not looking for incredible gains, just enough to make the car a little more fun. I have an 87 T/a with a 305 and it screams compared to my 91. What is the most cost effective way to gain about 30 to 40 hp?

Upgrading the exhaust system is the best place to start. Try to get ahold of Dyno Don. He hangs out in the Southern California section.

Absolutely stop by and talk to Dyno Don. He knows what he is talking about and won`t have you throwing your money away on things that won`t help.
