if you cant find the search at the up right hand corner of the page then I suggest you just flip through the forum pages for ideas. BTW those are the bottom of the page on the right hand side.

That should get you started.

Welcome aboard

Have a look at the links below. How much hp do you want to increase?

Fastman 52tb is reasonable price and helps a fair bit and intended for a 360.

http://thefastman.com/Throttlebodies5x.asp

KRC has some pretty good cams IMHO. If you go with a big cam, it will require a lot of changes.
http://www.krcperformance.com/krc/in...mart&Itemid=26

M1/2bbl works pretty good but will cost some low end torque. Really need a higher stall tc with m1 & a cam IMHO. 2500 stall would be good, unless big cam, will need higher stall. KRC & Hughes sell them. Oh, just noticed, 95, you will need the egr version which is not cheap.

http://www.krcperformance.com/krc/in...mart&Itemid=26

Hughes Heavy Duty heads a good choice and fair price.
?? Seems their site is down for some reason,,,,,,
Can also find these heads on Ebay. Sometimes listed as EQ Heavy duty heads.

for the INTAKE MANIFOLD, if that was your talking about, you need to get one with a egr valve also the header need a egr port,,,

so the intake and header NEED!! a egr valve, do not forget!!

allso can get much of a tuner so if that cam does to big you may have computer problems, you may need a reflash

Before you go doing all that stuff, have you checked the cat, lower intake gasket,compression or leak down test? Have you done a full tune up ? Including all fluid and filter changes. Don't spend the money on the other stuff until you know everything else checks out,

+1 you could be surprised what a simple tune up will do, not only increase power but mpg also
