Here's the situation, I am 16 and have this nice 1984 Camaro Z28. It has a 5.0L V8 HO OHV. I need help on figuring out what I need to do to add on and make it better. Basically, I have the base to a nice engine, but nothing is good on it like I want it to be. I am in the learning process so I need help. Please suggest things that I can do to this engine. Please help!

 

You are wanting to modify your Camaro...

Step 1: Buy a car that you can drive on a daily basis that is reliable. Your camaro is going to be down at times because now it's basically a toy

I say have the engine taken out, rebuild with forged pistons, stock rods, stock crankshaft...a newer slightly more aggressive camshaft, have your heads cleaned up and pocket ported, get new valvesprings to match the new camshaft, put it all back together and spray it with a 150 shot of nitrous..Buy a kit from Nitrous Express.

Ask anyone here how many times i've reccomended the combination hahahahaha

 

Now that I think about it, get new rods also. Maybe an Eagle SIR rod to keep cost down
