Makes sense. Im probably going to go to MAF eventually, just wasn't sure at what point it becomes more necessary. Thanks for the help.

to help answer your question, my car has the SD engine and have a FULL exhaust, as in long tube headers, X pipe and flowmaster system. I also have a short ram intake, and the car runs perfectly fine. I was also told but do not know for sure that it has a cam. Not sure if its true, but I have heard you can put a cam in but with a very small amount of added lift. If you aren't actually worried about performance then there are no issues in having the SD engine

Thanks for the replies everyone. Im going to go with exhaust for now and change to MAF later on if i continue to mod. Im happy with the cam I have now... since the car came off march of 87 it has a bit more 'aggressive' cam which it is maped to already.

Im hoping the exhaust will free up a little more power. Even 5 horse or so along with the added sound would be nice. I ran a 14.62 in the quarter 2 summers ago with no mods other than advanced timing to 12 deg. so im hoping i can do even better once the exhaust is freed up a bit.
