You asking us what mods you can do to that will pass CA emission on a car that should not pass emission already. How does anyone answer that?

Its stuff like this that makes people give me **** for owning a 3rd gen camaro. I would say 9 out of 10 3rd gen owners do the same exact thing. Hack up the emission stuff and expect a 500HP monster, or think bolting something on, or porting smog heads will give you an extral 250HP. I saw the OP mention supercharger, really? Would you seriously spend all that money to put a supercharger on any motor from this vintage with the miles that these motors have on them? I really don't get it at all. I love my camaro, but in stock form it was way slower than the 98' camry I had in college.

Tiptricky: Slap a supercharger on it and have fun.

LOL you understand that a tunnel ram intake is designed for high RPMs and sucks at low end torque. Your RV Cam is going to float out your valves at about 4800 RPMs, long before the tunnel ram starts to help. I would not be surpised if the motor show about the same HP with less torque on the low end as your stock setup. A nice duel plane intake would complement your existing cam. If you are going all that change the cam to higher RPM range. Course then you will just blow it up. So either way.

I agree, what kind of a nitwit would put on a tunnel ram? The ram effect of the intake is for giving upper rpm performance. Without the low end torque of a stroker motor, or a big block, I wouldn't do a tunnel ram unless you are only doing it for looks. For instance, the Weiand's operating range is from 2,800 to 7,000 rpm, and Edelbrock's range starts at 3,500 rpm. The tunnel ram will make your engine doggier off the line.

The point of the tunnel ram would only be for looks. But i have a question for you guys what tranny would you recommend that has Over Drive for the 350?

If you are getting from a junk yard later 80's 700-R4. If you are buying rebuilt 200-4R will be better with your low hp application.
