Hey guys i just finally pickd up an 91 rs V8 305 tbi. the person who sold the car to me was a dead beat, and basically beat me in my head. it needs sum finishing and repairing. it was an automatic, now a T5. here is wat i plan on doing and i would like to know if it is worth it or where i should head if im wrong..

1. new stage 2 clutch kit

2. msd ignition- wires, distributor, ignition box, and coil

3. changing from tbi to carb? is it worth it or what?

4. ls1 cam worth it or no?

5. true dual exhaust. have a listing of parts. is it worth it or no?

 

I'm more of a "build on what you've got" guy, but carb may make more power depending upon what else you do.

LS1 cam won't work. LT1 cam will work.

True dual exhaust not worth it until you get above about 400 cubic inches. Maybe even more than that.

 

hey what do you mean build on what youve got guy? dont get it? soo i should just stick with shorty headers, with a y-pipe to a single muffler?

 

I think what five7 is saying is that with the motor you have, you do not need the dual setup. you do not need that much exhaust for the hp you have presently. This has been discussed on exhaust threads. If I were you, I would listen to what he says. I am very pleased with my set up-i have very similiar car that you have-see sig.

 

hey thanx for the info. hot92 im also looking into the other mods i posted. so if u have any help it will help me thanx

 

Congrats on your purchase. I am going to have to encourage you to do a search on the forum for those items that you mentioned. I have not got into the motors of either one of my cars yet. Lotsa info on this forum. Good luck!

 

Hey what do ya know I just bought a 91 camaro rs myself a week ago and it needs some TLC and little things to fix and it looks and runs great. It also looks good sitting next to my 89 camaro rs (which has been my project for 6 years) now I can finish my 89 rs up while I drive my newly acquired 91 rs. Good luck on the Mods that you are doing to yours!

 

By "build what you've got", I mean if you have TBI, make improvements to the TBI system. If you've got carb, make improvements to the carb system. If you've got TPI, make improvements to the TPI system. But, if you have TBI, don't switch to carb or TPI; if you have carb, don't switch to TBI or TPI; etc.

 

why dont switch from EFI to CARB? im still confuesed on that 1?
