Well 5k would be enough to heads cam your car. If you on a budget and want heads cam your best bet would be to have advanced induction do up your stock 243's. They are the company that did the r&d on the 243 head for gm and for what they charge to do the heads you can't go wrong.

... I picked up about 80 rwhp with a LG Pro Longtubes, 228/232 cam, FAST 102 and a tune. All for about 5K.

Myself, I would shop around for a used Centri S/C in great shape and bolt it on. That with a tune will give you enough uummp to play hard!

Pretty close but I think I had over $5,000. those incidentals, Like porting
The FAST & TB but that would be the logical way to go. I would not put a Cam in without the said boltons.

$5,200 buys you a brand spankin' new A&A centri kit! No need to buy someone else's used stuff! This would put you around 500-ish at the rear wheels. http://www.aacorvette.com/supercharg...products_id=82

Quote from A&A's website "Average increase TO THE REAR WHEELS is approximately 175 RWHP! No other modification, in this price range, even comes close."

No sir, no hood change required with the A&A supercharger! Everything you need comes in that kit! I've done four of these now!
