What should I get first?
i have a 92 5sph 305 with so far free mods, mild cam, cat-back exhuast, forged pistons at a 10:1 compressions ration, and an airfoil. right now i'm running in the 14's and i want to be faster. i don't have a whole bunch of money so i have to buy one thing at a time, so what would be next for gaining maximum hp. i was thinking a performance manifold, mini-ram, headers, or runners. i was thinking about nitrous too, but should i build up the engine more? what would be the best thing to buy first and where can i get it? thanks

Id say headers too. Look around on the boards for used set. get 1 3/4 headers since you have 10:1 compression. after headers look into changing the runners and intake.

Headers would be #1 100%. Then #2 would be a New intake manifold, the new Holly Stealth Ram is the BEST bang for the buck out there as far as all the preliminary tests have shown. ~$500 for 63 more hp at 5200RPM and a 30hp increase in peak numbers is just unheard of! This new intake is almost too good to be true.
Without a doubt, though, the headers should get you into the very high 13's. The Holly Stealth Ram would get you somewhere in the mid 13's I would think.
