Hi guys ive been reading this forum for a few months and just activated my membership. ive learned so much from everyone here already and i want to thank you.

So i bought a 84 z28 for $800 from a good friend of mine that had it sitting in a pile of leaves for 2 years. ive put in some wrench time and gave it some much needed tlc. and its a confident daily driver now.

I have a few more repairs that i know of to make the car perfectly solid again maybe another 200 dollars. after that i want to start building onto it and getting some more power. while i have a camaro and i love that fact alone it gets beat by just about anything that pulls up to me. and i just cant have that anymore.

my first thoughts are cam. i have no clue what to look for in a cam or what any of the numbers (lift etc etc) mean or how to match one for what i want out of my car. Ive already got a edelbrock hirise performer intake (craiglist super deal even if i never use it im happy). but im waiting to get a few other parts so i dont have to continuesly tear my motor apart.


as it sits ive got a lg4 with the quadrajet 4bbl hooked to a 700r4 and the rear end is stock (can anyone tell me what rear end that is?). only performance part is some flowmaster 40s. i think its all new piping up to the headers though idk about the cats...

What could i do to get some more performance on a smaller budget?
and i want to stay with my 305 for a few years im n ot good enough to do a swap nor do i have the funds i just want some more power for now
