Need some advice...

Im getting ready to purchase a 87 IROC 305TPI 5spd. Its my first F-body since 92 when I had a 83 T/A. My first go round w/ a TPI car so I need to know what I should do first as far as upgrades? Since you all are the pros I figured I start here. Thanks

Upgrades? Get it running correctly first, then perform your modifications one at a time.

The mods my 1991 5.0 has is headers, home made cold air intake, and 3.42 gears and the car moves compared to stock.

A 350 would be nice. But lately I've noticed a few more people wanting to start building strong running 305's. I'm one of them. I'm aiming for a mid 13 second auto 305tpi. Right now it's about mid 14's.
