High rise intake and performance carb and headers, for a start, high lift,long duration cam shaft...Anyone who can help me build my own / convert into Hybrid Electric Vehicle ?
First make sure the normal stuff is good. Air filter, plugs, etc.Then I have had pretty good success with changing the exhaust to a big dual system. It also increases your gas milage.
headers with dual exhaust will give you some more horses.
Something easy to do quickly would be to put in a K&N air filter. More power and better gas economy.
A perfomance cam and better carburation.

There are a lot of options here, mainly depending on the money youre willing to spend. Upgraded dual exaust is a basic way to get good sound and free up horsepower, and it will be necessary to get the most out of any other parts you put on. New heads, Edelbrock's are good, are a great source of fairly unexpensive power. Research cams, there are a lot of options with them and they make a huge difference. Pistons are a big step and moderatley expensive but make a big difference as well. Bolt on parts such as super charges are good for 350's.1988 Silverado question please?

PLZ answer this T F question for me.Thanks?
Install high performance aftermarket cylinder heads, intake manifold, camshaft, and headers. Do that first, and there will be no question about the performance increase. It will be huge. If you have an automatic transmisssion you should also install a torque converter with a higher stall RPM. Other easier little upgrades like air intakes, larger throttle bodies/ carbs, cat back systems... etc...etc should come last. Not only because that is the order you have to put it together, but also because those little things won't make much difference without the main parts anway. They compliment them.Holley and Edelbrock both sell kits that come with: Cam, manifold, and heads. They are tested and engineered as a set, and can produce incredible results when used as reccommended. Use the manufacturers website or hotline to find out what kit works best for your stock 350. Don't always trust the guy at the local parts store, he may just try to push what he has on the shelf. I put a holley systemax kit on a 350 once that was advertised to put out 400hp... WOW! fastest '67 Camaro I ever drove!
