I wanted to know about how much horsepower i have now and what i can do to make an extra 30 to 50 hp .I have a 85 trans am q jet , auto trans . Last yr i had a reman jasper 350 put in over the 305 . i dont know the specs to the cam . I have a duel snorkle cold air intake , with hooker shorty headers y -pipe and magnaflow catback exhuast . I dont know a ton about cars if someone could give me any ideas for an extra boost of hp on a limited budget that would be cool . thanks

 

-Full Roller rocker arms ($200.00-$250.00)

 

so what would i get 15 to 25 hp with roller rockers ? are there any other cheap mods for about another 20 hp ?

 

what kind of ignition are you running?

 

its the stock disributor . i bought better spark plugs and wires from autozone and put them in last yr . i was thinking of edelbrock 2101 intake manifold as my last mod not sure if that would be enough hp though . im guessing im around 250hp now my goal was 300 hp .

 

im tellin you man, you would be surprised by how much a good set of rocker arms can open up an engine. especially if you have a decent camshaft

in addition, an upgrade to that q-jet and stock ignition would probably help you achieve the numbers your going for.

 

thanks for your input i will definatly remember rocker arms when i get some cash together for a perfomance upgrade . Im thinking i might do rocker arms w/ a cam cuz i dont think mine right now is great lol . Any idea how much horsepower about i would be pushing with those mods ??

 

hp is tough to estimate with a parts list alone, especially with stock fuel delivery and ignition.
