More power
So i just went to the track and found out what i ran. I ran the best of a 14.3 at 96 mph, with the following done to my camaro, which isnt much. Put in a bone stock 91 350 tpi, becool radiator, and 3.73 gears.. not much. But now i wanna do some work and get in the low 12s or high 11s.
What does everyone think i should do next, to go even faster, which everyone wants to do. I cant decide to either, turbo or supercharger my 350, or buy some heads, or have my stock heads ported and polished. Or build a stroker motor. I also want to keep my car fuel injected, but have heard that tpi's lack power. So then should i switch intake systems? Let me know what everyone thinks i should do. Need some advice from people who have done it. Thanks!!

Re: More power
lack power they do not lack. tons of torque in a TPI, HP is where it lacks at high RPMs, over 5500. depends on your budget its going to cost a good bit to get it in the 11-12s, id say youd need over 500 HP to get it there. can be done though.

Re: More power
There are a lot of options you mention in your post. You should start by doing some searches. Also keep an eye on what everyone else is running in their signatures and their respective run times.
