That time of year again to put the toy up for winter... so sad, but I look forward every spring to get it out. This winter though I want to make so improvements and upgrades to the engine.
Now, the car looks totally awesome and real fast but.... its the stock engine with the K&N filters,Borla exhaust,Stage 2 chip,170 degree thermostat. The engine runs great and is pretty fast, but I want more! (don't we all!).. Its an 84 so we now its got the crossfire, but not the best to upgrade or should I say doesn't have all that many upgrades that are available.
After doing some research I like the X-ram but is it the best value for what I want to do. These are my choices and tell me what you think would be the smartest thing to do. My goal is to get the car to run in the 12's.
1) X-ram,bore out the throttle bodies,and change the fuel pump. If I do this I want to change the cam... any recommendations?
2) Do they make a supercharger for this? Price? And would it be worth it.
3) Or should I just look into putting in the 383? and how much do I need to change in order for it to fit? Electronics?

Thanks in advance guys, I will say that since I been reading this forum I've learned more about the car.
