[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1639680, member: 565696"] Awesome, just makin' sure you looked at everything first. Those edelbrock kits look pretty plug-n-play for the $$. I've seen the multi-port kit on ebay before for ~$600 new, probably just people never finishing their projects. If you want a good mix of torque/hp i'd suggest a ~270 degree cam kit, any bigger than that and the lowend really takes a hit. With the 270's, you'll still lose a little torue, but has the added benefit of better connection to the pavement from a stop, and from 3000rpms (where a 262/270 comes into it's torque peak) it'll keep bulding torque till redline, so your power increases exponentially as you accelerate, if you know what i mean? The higher you rev, not only do you obviously accelerate, but you accelerate FASTER and FASTER, it's like being blasted through a wormhole in a sci-fi movie or something. You can go with something bigger, but your torque curve will start feeling really laggy and unnatural, and unless you've got super super short gears, you wont be able to keep it in the power curve, it's pretty easy to keep an engine between 3 and 3.5 grand between shifts, so you stay in the hot-zone. Just make sure the f/i kit you get is either mappable, so you don't run lean in the highend with the cam, or run a little closer to a 14:1 a/f Good luck! Those 350's are mean little *****es!
