You need to spend some time reading about the mods you can do, make some decisions about your budget and the ways to acheive your goals, and then revisit this topic. The cars you listed run from mid 14's right on down to low 13's, you need a 12.90 or faster car to beat the GTO consistently. Doing that on a TBI 350 would require some significant breathing mods (heads/cam/etc) or a lot of juice and some chassis mod's to plant the power.

I agree, your going to need a new exhaust including headers, cam, intake, heads, and you may touch 13.00 with 3.73 gears you might be able to beat the GTO. When I raced them, they always raced around the 12.95-13.10's

Do you know anything about the istory of the 350 in the car now like what it came out of or the heads or cam it has. that would go along way towards pointing you wer to start. if it a lo5 out of a caprice it's going to need head before it will ever be able to be competitive with those other cars. it depends on what you want under the hood if efi is your thing then a swap to a SD tpi ecm with a hsr or miniram and a good set of heads with a decent cam not one of those lt1/lt4 cams not bad cams but not what you will need.
is the car an auto or manaul tranny. if its an atou you'll need a higher stall converter if its a manual you may want to look into a t56 swap bc the t5 is considered weak for performance use.

Is the engine in your RS original? The RS came with 305 not 350's that's why I am asking.
