My Z28

Whats up? My camaro is basically stock w/ a 305 and 10 bolt rearend. Ive already ordered a Holley Dominator squarebore intake and a holley 600 cfm carb. I got them both for about $100 dollars below normal price. I have yet to order a carb spacer, headers by hooker, and a duel "cold air intake" by spectre, i dont really know if im going to go with this or not but i might. Im unsure if i should order a new and better distributor to complement my MSD spark plug wires and spark plugs. Also i was considering a street fuel pump and 160 thermo. So, what do u guys think of this set up for now? I dont have a ton of money right now so im not goin to mess with the internals for now, plus i might just put in a bigger engine later down the road. What should i add to the list? Thanks.

Re: My Z28

Sorry buddy, but this thread doesn't belong here as it is not a product review... I'll report it to a mod to be moved to Tech/General Engine for you.

As far as your spark plugs & wires... grab an ordinary set from Napa, as they will work equally as well as MSD and will probably be cheaper too. I'd also get a new distributor cap and rotor, especially if they haven't been replaced in a long time. Start reading the threads in the carb & general engine section... there are many ways to get the end result you want, and the more knowledge you have, the better. This forum has a wealth of information floating around.

Thanks super_kev as always you are a huge help. Moving to Genereal Tech since there is no Aftermarket review here.
