help with next upgrade?
my car has the following, engine wise:
block - cast, 355ci, cast pistons and rods, hydraulic flat tappet cam, duration at .050 is 204in, 214ex. valve lift is 422in, 444ex with 107in, 117ex lobes
heads - cast, 305 58cc, 1.84in valves, freshly machined
intake - bone stock TPI
fuel - venom pump, LS1 25# injectors with custom clips
exhaust - Full edelbrock exhaust, including headers and 3" cat back with catco cat
thats pretty much it for the engine, i'm also running an OEM air filter... never really figured an air hog would really make a noticeable difference, also i heard it could cause check engine lights b/c of the oil and whatever.
Please let me know what other mods i should do that keep the budget under 2,000. thanks guys!
