Re: Noob trying to match parts for motor upgrade, HELP!!!
So is it a 95 or a 96? You say both.
you don't have to do everything at once. You can buy a set of used heads to send to loyd, or I even thing he can do like a core deposit/swap.
Your current mods are not 380hp, or even 350hp. Not even 350hp at the flywheel. At the wheels you are still under 300hp.
Sell the hypertech and get lt1edit. Its robbing you of hp.
The 305 is a good/fun cam to have. Because it makes good power down low. If you want 400 it is not big enough. Think 306 or 847. My setup "MAY" be making 350 at the wheels now.
If you just want 400 without spending money or worrying about install (stupid apartments) then spray it. I put down 410hp to the wheels and 510tq with just headers and a 125 shot. If you want something that will make you happy day after day, you need to do lots of research.

jsetzer its a 96'. I originally thought the car was a 95' the first week I got it so I got the wrong hypertech chip ( 95' ) and installed it and the car ran like CRAP , and still does even though the chip is out 
. I think I may go with a 306 or a custom lloyd grind......I REALLY HOPE HE DOES A CORE SWAP ON THE HEADS, that would be smart of him if he did, because he will get my business that way. I think I may get a 125 shot too after I do the cam and heads and then be done for awhile. THANKS GUYS--!!
