I have an 89 camaro. It has a 305 and i wanted to know all of the mods i could do to it, without getting a new motor.


Thanks

 

89 camaro??? Nice choice my friend i have an 89 RS

You could put many things for your vehicle, headers, exhaust, cam lifer sets, cold air intake...
theres so much you can do to it. Check www.summitracing.com on the left side of the home page choose "search by make or model" (i think) and fill the info in, it should give you parts that go with your engine. Let me know if u need any more help

 

I think that your biggest gain, if you have the money would be aluminum heads.

 

Since you did not say IROC, I would guess you have a RS with a LO3 305 TBI 170HP/255#/ft of torque. My other guess would be it a Auto with a 2:73 open rear.
So if you are looking to increase Performance on this engine without going into internal parts the best bang for the buck would be:
1) 1 5/8 headers
2) 3' in & out Hi-flow Cat. Just install one regardless of other peoples opinions.
3) 3" Mandrel bend CatBack exhaust system.
4) Complete tune up- with everything replaced.
5) Change all fuilds from thefront/back.
After all this you should be up to 200 hp and some additional torque. this should make you competitive with most 4cyl ricers out there.

 

I cant remember if that new a engine has a conventional HEI or computer sorry not my generation of car but if it is buy a $9.00 curve kit and high performance rotor adjust the timing to 12 deg a open element aircleaner , see if you can dig up a early 70's
Qjet like off a Olds , pontiac or 69 Camaro is good source what ever headers and mufflers you can afford and then put 1.6 rockers on it you can find them in a mag for like $50.00 this will increase your cam lift like .030 of a inch . I can't believe this will cost you
but a few hundred and you will fill it in the seat of your pants. Oh ya put a shift kit in tranny so it will stop shifting on it's own and you can hold it in gear

 

Thanks all. Yeah mine is a RS too. Ill take a look at that site.
