small hp gains

[killerbugsbunny]

Need some ideas on some small hp gains. Done all the little stuff,k&n fiters, removed fan, larger exhaust(3), lower gears.
Think I need to put some real money in the rig now.I was thinking of a new chip, maybe rocker rollers,or maybe a rv cam.
Need some feed back on best upgrade for your money. Need to keep it reasonsable for now. I just bought new bfgoodrich Mtr's 37-12.5x15. Finding I need a little more hp to keep the rubber turning.
I have a 90' k5, 5.7 liter, 4 speed.TBI feeding it.4.11 gears.
thanks for the feedback. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

Well what I would do is buy an edelbrock intake to fit new vortec heads. also I suppose a cam from edelbrock or an RV cam would also help out. Also maybe a set of headers if you don't have them already doing the vortec heads and manifold would cost around 1000 and probably give you an extra 30 to 50 horses.

I didnt see much gain with the "jet stage 2 " chip in my 87' tbi 350.

Check out the stuff here:turbocity.com

Doing a few mods to your TBI will give a nice boost in power. Most of the mods on that page work real well on low end torque and all around performance. I have been real satisfied with their stuff.
Try a new distributor module(Or new distributor) from these guys:DUI Performance Distributors
It will help on the low torque as well as top end.
These are fairly cheap mods that I have found to produce a lot of power for the $$$$ invested.

Don't waste money on some generic chip. Save it for when you do cam or head mods and have a "custom" chip burned.

Headers, heads, cam, and intake can all make a big difference.

Roller rockers are nice. IMO though, spend the money on something that produces more gains, (heads, headers, etc) then spend money on roller rockers.
