Same thing that you would look for a 360. Harland Sharp 1:7 Roller Rockers, external tranny filter and cooler.

1.7 if you want to feel more power. A short header unless you want to do a full exhaust.

shortie headers help with the higher range rpms. Longs are overall better but unless your doing somthing major...eh. Help with low end though (lil)

i was looking into the 1.7 rr's and the tech's at work said that if i put those in i would also have to put in a new cam and a bunch of other junk to keep up with them. oh and i just cut off my muffler and ran some pipe in its place.. but im also thinking about cutting the cats. I can pass emissions without a problem because i work in the service department. Good idea on the cats? and next thing im going to do is headers (gibson probably) and fastman 50 (ha)
