I want to upgrade my 1988 chevy camaro? I have a 5.7 350 engine. I dont want to swap just upgrade the Cylinder Heads, Cam, and ect. any suggestion?


Im a Beginner at this, the only thing i have done to the motor was to install a Edelbrock High-Flo TPI Baseplate and runners for vortec head.

 

Skys the limit on this. Can go just cam only or up to something nuts like 210cc heads/solid roller cam.

Need to determine what the goals and budget are for this car. RPM range, hp goal, etc. And be realistic about it too. I see alot of beginners ask for 400whp but really dont know how much that really is. Thats a good bit of power to achieve in a typical heads/cam stock bottom end car.

 

Will the budget is about 3 to 4,000 and since i live in california it need to be street legal and im a daily driver. about the HP im thinking about 300 or more because im putting out 230 HP right now plus with the Edelbrock High-Flo TPI Baseplate & Runners I dont Know?

 

Like he said, get a plan together first. Determine what you want and work toward that. I didn't do that and ended up wasting a lot of cash. Lesson learned. My recommendation is to start simple. Work on air flow first, headers and free flow exhaust. Looks like you've already started on the in flow of air. If you want to proceed to cam, heads, injectors, etc. You really need to make sure all the part specs are compatible. You will also have to have it tuned to really cash in on your mods. Just my two lincolns. Good luck.
