Need input on planned mods
Need input on planned mods
My Iroc is a 1987 Convertible with a 305 TPI 5 speed. It is a rare car and I want to keep it looking as stock as possible.
I am looking for more over all power without affecting my driveability, emissions, and/or gas milage.
I have a set of Edelbrock headers, hi-flow cat, and an Edelbrock cat-back exhaust.
I have a set of 1989 Aluminum Corvette heads that I am planning on sending to TPIS to have them ported and everthing else they do to the heads.
I was thinking of replacing my 305 injectors with a set of injectors off of the same corvette.
I have ported the plenum and I am thinking of getting some bigger runners like accel or something similular that looks stock.
My camaro came with the better cam (or so I've read) since it has a 5 speed. Would I benefit from going to a 1.6 rocker arm? Can I use a roller rocker with my engine?
Would I need to do something with the computer?
Would I benefit from a 52mm throttle body if I do all the above mods?
Any other small improvements or mods would be very helpful.
Thanks guys

hey,
i would go for the bigger throttlebody, and some slp runners.
some other ideas that'll keep it lookn stock but give you some extra oomphh!:
underdrive pulley set
gutted airboxes with some k&n filters
free ram air mod
different gears
lt1 hotcam
ported intake manifold (or a high perfomance manifold)
smog delete if you don't need emissions...
and yes, the roller rockers will fit.
and there is lots of other things i can't think of.

I am having the intake manifold ported. I am also planning on the underdrive pulleys, Adj. fuel regulator, K&N air filters, I have cut the air box, and eventually some AS&M runners.
I need to know should I get self aligning or non self aligning roller rockers? Which came in the 89 Corvette heads? What is the difference?
