You need a better intake.
By Dave Shoe - 03/14/2001 1:48:03 AM; IP 216.243.158.55
The "S" marked manifold (on the #1 runner) is not similar to the Ed Performer. They're both in the same performance category, however this category hangs around te 200 to 300 HP region.

A CJ, PI or Ed RPM intake would be a good second step. A cam kit a good third step. The first step, in case you were wondering, is to remove the Fairlane/Mustang type exhaust manifolds and put some FPA Tri-Y headers on the poor motor. NOTHING will help that motor until that pair of cast iron factory exhaust restrictions is removed. Nore that C8AE-H heads have low-positioned exhaust ports and they need headers with low-flanges. FPA offers both hi and low types.

400HP will be a breeze with that motor, once it's converted from being the environmentally friendly citizen it presently is. It can be really smooth and silent with that kinda power, too (if you're into the stealth thing), until you step on it.
