Default need for speed

My 82 coupe's engine has been rebuilt to original specifications including the crossfire injection. How can I get more power and maintain some degree of original specs. What about underdrive pulleys, proformance chips, Ignition modules to increase dwell,throttle proformance switches.How about true dual exhaust, I should be able to add another catalytic converter for the second pipe.

Exhaust and a camshaft will give you the most bang for the buck, but if what your looking for is a seat of the pants experience and dont mind a little bit poorer gas mileage then you could replace the rear gears with 3.73s. I personally wouldnt reccomend anything higher(4.11s,etc) because of the gear noise at high speeds

Trual Duals, with or w/o Cats, depending on your states emission laws, will give you a definite Kick in the A, and help your mileage in the process....... :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:
