Look up Advanced Inductions or Lloyd Elliott Portworks. Then MadZ28 or PCMforless and get a tune. Their combos will steer you in the direction you want to go. Once you get a tune you can sell your skip shift eliminator. Also look into suspension items they will make a difference. My best advice is have a goal for the car, 400 rwhp is doable with the above mentioned people. Figure out what you want to do with your new HP, street car, street/strip, road race, all out drag. That will help you decide where you'll want your power (rpm wise) and help with suspension decisions. Good Luck!

Send your stock heads to Lloyd and have him port them. He can custom grind you a camshaft that best suites your needs as well. With LE2 heads, LE2 cam and the supporting mods you should be well on your way to that 400rwh mark!

LE all the way I am one of his proven customers making 413+ Rwhp with a heavy Dana
S60 rearend in the car. With a 10bolt those numbers would be more like 425-430rwhp. on a stock short block! It dont get much better than that!!!! Unless you go cam crazy!!!!
