i have an 86 es with fairly low miles. it's an awsome daily driver that i'd like to keep around for a long time.
but i've become hungry for more power and especially a higher topspeed. i'm not looking for anything spectular, but i'm wondering if i throw enough upgrades at, is 150hp and a 5500 rpm redline a realistic goal? Would it take more than exhaust, intake, ignition, and a good chip? Most chips i've seen claim to add at least twenty hp and 5500rpms.
Also, i dont understand my options about larger fuel injectors for an e block; i all i read about is i blocks.
Also, do i run the risk of engine damage if i run higher rpms in an e?
Or if anybody could just point me in the direction of what boring an engine involves, "that be terrrrrific, mmkay?"
God i hate being a newb.
