I was curious as to what next step to take as far as HP gains for my '88 vert n/a. I have installed the basics..aftermarket exhaust and intake.. What would be my best next move headers?? lighter pulleys?? If someone could offer some advice and get me going in the right direction would be appreciated...

 

pull the motor, put a t2 , i did full exhaust, headers, hi flow cat, put my vert on a serious diet, upgraded all the lines to ss all around, whats ur setup atm ?

 

If staying NA, exhaust and tuning via something like an SAFC will be just about the only "simple" options. Beyond that there's porting, custom manifolds, standalone EMS and more tuning. There's a thread called "beefy NA" or something similar that covers thing kind of thing.

 

I'd say go for header and lighter flywheel. My impression was that header makes huge difference in sound (loud!) but not so much in hp. There is no hp gain from lighter flywheel but acceleration gets better.

 

4.10 differential
Headers/Exhaust
Lightweight flywheel
Nitrous

Probably in that order, too
