10-20+ hp more with what mod?
I'd like a 10-20 HP so I can drop .1-.2 off my ET.
I have ALL the bolt on mods. Yank 3000, 3:42's, Vararam, TPIS Long tubes, Random High Flo cats & X pipe, GHL exhaust.
Any thoughts?
Rockers? Cam only?

Do both rockers and cam. Might as well since you have it all apart and loose. What heads are you running? What compression and CID is block?

I'll make the assumption that your motor is an L-82. The best thing that you can do is better heads with more compression. If you plan on keeping the motor 350 ci stay with smaller hears in the 180- 190 cc intake range and 64- 66 cc chambers.
Heads with your other mods might be an additional up to 50 hp

What are you 60' times and what tires are you running?
Do you want torque or HP?
Are you happy with the current tuning results?

Yes I was wondering about your listed mods. I was thinking fuel injection and the long tubes must be for emissions or something.
I would still say either head porting or aftermarket heads are a bigger bang. Hotter cams are not always faster because the existing intake/heads don't keep up.
