I have a computer controled quaderjet in my 86 trans. It also has a 5sd. And of coarse a 305. What are some easy and or cheap ways to produce power? Any advise would be great. I have no idea were to start. I'm alittle stumped on this one. You guys rock!!!!!

Re: I want to put some power to the pavement but how?

Ok. so first thing to do is POST in the right section of the fourms ( tech general questions). Next step would be SEARCH ( top of the page on the right side ). Then you can tell "us" a lil about your car ( how many miles, have you done any mods, is it stock, what are your plans with it)? Then someone will probally tell you where to start.

Moving to Tech/General.

Like akmusclecar said, if you search you'll likely find your answer(s) extremely quick as this has been asked many times and will cause less of a delay waiting for someone to post.

Best wishes and welcome to TGO.

Go to the FAQ forum (usually a good place to start when you don't know where to). Look for a thread that talks about the differences between 305's and performance improvements.
