I'm in the same boat as you are. Decent intown acceleration but no balls on the highway with my 88. There isn't much we can do with a 2.8. I'm building a spare with a stage 2 computer friendly cam. I'll let you know in a month if it was worth itwhen I replace my oil burner.

easiest way to get power out of the 2.8 is to take it out and put a 350 in there lol
i know, budget may not allow that, but the 2.8 isnt a real mod friendly engine
