Wrong section.. But headers and cams will do the trick, but those are probably around 2-3K combined and maybe a bit more if you can't install them yoursef.

Focus on your exhaust rather than your engine. Headers, mid-pipe, etc. That will more than likely give you the sound you want, not cams. Besides, cams are expensive.

You've got a high-revving V8. If you wanted a "muscle car" you should have bought a '78 Monte. Just sayin'

FRPP Hotrod cams and Comp Mutha Thumpa's aren't performance oriented cams... they bleed off A LOT of cylinder pressure at lower RPM, and if they're going to make any power, it's going to have to be at high RPM.

Good sound for sure... but on an anotherwise stock engine, you aren't going the be able to back it up.
