How you doing i have a 2000 z28 that im looking to run mid to low 11s in. I have slp maf, 243 heads unported, bbk intake, pacesetter headers, 3600 stall, 3.73 gears, slp lid, bbk throttle body. Now my question what would be the strongest most powerful way of doing this. I was told get 1 7/8 headers, a fast intake and throttle body, and better heads and a cam. I want an aggresive cam at idle but dont want to loose to much low end any input would be great.
Thanks in advance. And i want this N/A

AFR 205, or TF 215 heads. ported. FAST 102/102 ported with a suporting cam. You will make lots of power and throttle will be very responsive

The porting of heads and intake will increase your port velocity. Resulting in more air and fuel in your cylinders to make more power.

102 is better. 90's are a little harder to find, but for a 346 would do just fine. deffinetly better than the stock intake.

try a custom cam and keep the stock 243s.the BBK makes good power and could get you in the 11.xx.
