newbie Q's
Just bought my first IROC and i have some Q's guys.
I have done some reading here and on some other boards in an effort to get a baseline grip on what works and what doesn't.
I purchased the car with a siezed bottom end which is not a problem as i have a good motor for a transplant (350).
Wishing to make a few more ponies with the motor WITHOUT getting too carried away or extravagent, i'm looking at using the ZZ4 cam and edelbrock headers/y-pipe and 3" exhaust.
I do not at this time wish to get involved in changing the TPI setup to aftermarket, that will come later as i will build a complete new motor for it.
Will the ZZ4 cam and exhaust i described require any other mods or parts to work CORRECTLY???
The car is auto and has 3.42 gearing
Keep in mind guys, i'm only looking for a decent daily driver not a drag car.
thanks in advance.

mods seem like good choices to me, u might wanna look into a custom chip to get u more out of the cam, some people say u need it, some say it doesnt matter, id do at least some intake mods even if its porting, etc to get the most out of ur setup...

Typically one gets sicks from sustained exposure to less than ideal environment that causes the resistance to lower to the point that a virus gets in. What's your case?

RE
The cure for this sickness I believe is a few eyeball peeling full throttle runs when this thing is finally done.
But, that's just my opinion

I can relate.
There's just something about your whole body being firmly pressed deep into the seat that makes you go,
