Add HP!

I will soon be swapping a 350 TPI from a 85 Corvette into my 1987 Iroc-Z. What are some good mods I should do right away? Or while the engine is out?
Looking to get it up to 300 HP if possible. I'm going to have around 800 bucks to spend.

Thanks

Re: Add HP!

I would put a cam in it and a get a set of heads. A full exhaust from the headers back would work good also.

Re: Add HP!

The one that I use to have was the ZZ9 camshaft from TPIS. It will work with the stock valvetrain and has a nice idle. If you do full exhaust zz9 cam and a good set of heads you could get 300 rwhp with that motor. I did

Oh alright I'll look into that. I have a flowmaster exhaust already done. Should I upgrade that too?
