OK guys it's time to just come out with it. Been reading up all over the net about the Lo3, and I never find what im looking for so here goes.
I bought a 89 RS with a rebuilt 700r4 (shift kit), & a rebuilt Lo3. They are just past the break in. I need every HP/TQ that I can get out of this set up to make it worth driving (2 years= 200 miles). Their is no point in doing any work that will cost a lot, or why not swap with a 350. Every build I read about that is "budget" is not the direction I want to go.
All I need to know is what heads, & full roller cam are the best for the rest of the set up. I want to keep my car forever so the suspension will be re worked from the ground up. I can take care of that part as far as info goes. So I will start naming off parts that I know I want, to give a good idea in order to get the info I need for matched heads, & cam.
First off I will not get into the bottom end of this motor. I will not do anything to the stock tbi unit, except for the ultimate tbi mods. I will get a cawl hood to get cold air, & plumb it. I want edelbrock headers that have 3" collectors with no air tube (No sniff test in my state). I will find the sealed high flow cat. Three inch single pipe. Yes a muffler also. No worry. On the other side. I want a edelbrock performance rpm intake. Double roller timing set. Full upgrades on the ignition ect. Will I need any fuel upgrades?
Did I leave anything out? Any info will help as I am lost on the rest. Thanks in advance for reading this, & for any help. Sorry its so long, but I have yet to find any info on the same setup since no one seems to want to build this motor. I have to. Im not rich, & the motor is like new. Thats my reasoning behind it.
