I have an 81 vette it has a 300hp engine/auto trans...then thing is I get ripped BAD out of the hole I mean it could be against my cavi that is a 4 cyl/3spd and will jump me for about 200 feet then as soon as my rpms start to climb I am good I can hang with a friends 96 vette with no problem. What I am thinking is it is in total smog trim...I do not need any of this I don't have smog regulations in WI I bought it from cali...that has to be robbing me of some HP, I was wondering if maybe getting the tranny rebuilt with a shift kit and getting a new torque converter would help my jump off of the line. Is there any easy hp to get everyting is stock except the enigine having 300hp and a free flowing exhaust but it has the cat there still. I mean no headers or nothing. I also bought a k&n but those are only like 2 or 3 hp so I need some help tell me what you think.
