Re: 97 z28 horsepower

Headers and a full catback exhaust should get you about 20whp for around $500-700. That's the next logical step.

Re: 97 z28 horsepower

4.10's work great with the T56's deep O/D gears.

Does the intake have heavy oil deposits behind the throttle body? That is sometimes the sign of a plugged PCV valve or excessive crankcase blowby. Pull the top cover off the throttle body and see if there's a puddle of oil.

Use carb cleaner. Just don't spray the carb cleaner on the throttle body. It's harsh and can remove the anti-coking coating on the blades.

Re: 97 z28 horsepower

A full exhaust will give the car a great sound!! With the right muffler it may only add 20hp but it will sound like it has much more gives it that hot rod sound. If you can't do a full exhaust change the muffler you won't get the 20hp but it will sound good .

If you wanted to clean the out side of the intake for appearance scrub it with a wire brush the intake will look like its new!!! take your time being sure not to cut any wires or disconnect anything !!!
