Since you have the heads off... have them milled about .030" and use a nice thin gasket. The felpro 1074s are a popular choice. That should bump your compression a little. Get a set of used 1.6 RRs. Upgrade your tired old springs to LT4 springs. Put a set of headers on your car. A nice catback can be had for cheap. A cold air induction would help. You can get out pretty cheap if you try. Trade your stock heads for a set of 561 castings. All in all you can get out cheap and put about 300-310 to the wheels.
561 castings - 200$ Milling and cleaning - 60$ LT4 valve springs 40$ 1.6 RRs - 150$ Head gaskets - 60$ Headers 300$ Catback - 200$ Mail Order Tune - 175$ Cold air induction - 100$ Assuming you can get all this stuff used you are set man. Throw in a little extra ~200$ for fluids, hardware, and shipping. You will make 300rwhp reliable and without sacrificing fuel mileage. Hell you might even get better mileage. |
I find this thread quite amusing. Quite a few people getting to the 300 mark (yes at the wheels)with the right bolt ons...search

I got there with my bolt ons. Easy as pie!

why is it on every site that someone asks for 300hp and all of a sudden 40 people are like you need heads cam blower built bottom end two nitrous kits and you should be right around your goal. last i checked that the corvette lt1 produced 300hp chalked up to the dual exhaust. why on earth would you suggest porting heads, heads or a cam?

I'tgve got the headers going to get a decent cat back exhaust. got the cold air intake. I like yoour way of thinking with the prices and everything. Heads are in the machine shop getting ported I'll see if i can get the springs upgraded before it's time to be put back together. Where would i get the mail order tune? Also would a edelbrock 52 do anything for me or is it a waste for my use of the car.
