Default Lacking Power........

Alright, I knew the day would come when I didn't feel like the car made enough power... 406rwhp and 386rwtq.. So now I have to decide if I am gonna just leave the car (cam, intake, exhaust), and add a 150 shot since I have all my nitrous stuff already. Or if I should drop some 243 heads ported to match my cam on the car. Or just save up and procharge or maggie the goat. Out of all the cars I have owned I really enjoy this thing! It's a blast to drive.

If you've already done the cam and intake I would say get the heads. They provide nice power all over the RPM range and all the time (unlike say nitrous). I think doing the heads in my build is what made it so fun, even part throttle.

If you hadn't done all that stuff already I would say go FI since it's got more potential and easier to drive and tune.

Probably gonna get a set of 243's and send them to TEA for porting and polishing. Then I will see how the car feels. Lol I might still want FI. Although now I have to buy a driveshaft because, my carrier bearing is shot on the stocker. No surprise.
