My Chevy II currently is running a Chevy performance zz5 turn key engine (Fastburn 385 with the beehive springs), 200-4R trans with 3000 converter and 3.70 gears.

Engine runs great but starting to want some more power. Any recommendations on options?

A turbo would wake it up!

^^^^^^^^^^^ He's right but whats's the compression ratio? Do You have e85 in your area?
This is the route I'm going but with an engine blt for boost.

One of them nice little low boost vortech blowers would be nice there pretty reasonably priced considering what you get in return for power

Not sure I want to do the forced induction.

I know I can change the cam to gm’s Hot cam and make around 430hp, but is there better cam options using the Fastburn head?

Yeah BKHotrod is probably rt. A lot less work too. :yes:

Honstely considering the work and cost of gaskets and fluids and what not I don’t think that cam change is gonna impress you much after your done once you start getting into cams that are really gonna wake up things , then all along comes convertor changes and other things , just my 2 cents ?
