ORIGINAL: sowaxeman

I would put a double humper cross member under the tranny first, then put a good dual exhaust (headers on back) system on to let it breath and be heard [8D] Then if you not interested in remaing "stock" like me, put a good aftermarket 4bbl on it for some increased power.
and fwiw, the 83 came stock with a 4bbl carb.
but because of its lackluster performance, in stock configuration, it is much more feasable and cheaper to drive it with a 2.

the e7 will flow better...but not a whole hellofalot better. if you dont plan on having money for some cheapo gt40s anytime soon, i would go ahead and throw the e7s on, then save up for a set of some aluminums. as per hp gains, id say an average of 5 hp across the board could be freed up, with a peak of perhaps 10-15(if that). so like i said, they are better, but not by much. if youve got nothing to do over the weekend, throw em on, let us know what you think of the difference. i went straight from the d8s to afrs. now that was a difference
