quick tips and help.......please

i just bought a 92 RS coupe 25th anniversary with a 305 and a 5 speed. i want to keep the 305, but make it a beefcake motor. any ideas where to start. not interested in engine swaps or anything like that. the only swaps would be a T56 6 speed and a 12 bolt rear with posi. any ideas where to start with the 305 though???

Full exhaust. Headers and everything behind for the '86-'90 TPI single-cat application will get you the best system and will all bolt together.

Air cleaner.

Heads.

Cam.

Check the TBI forum for specifics.

ok all the basic bolt ons were going to happen anyway. anything for the 305 besides basic bolt on stuff. ecu, cam, rods, bearings, lifters. any suggestions on things like that. also handling wise. i want a mountain tamer pretty much.
