tbis can be good performers...injectors, 305 tpi heads (90formulaws6 has a pair for sale for 250 bucks fully ported) and an lt1 camshaft or xe256 for a tappet block (like 40 bucks for an lt1 cam), headers (which i have for sale for 50 bucks) and if ya wanted to you could get a performer intake manifold with a tbi adaptor for like 125 bucks, get a used intake and the adaptor you would prolly be lookin at 50 bucks. when ya do the cam, ya can do a gear drive for 100 or a double roller for like 50, some 1.6 ratio rockers if ya wanted (doesnt need to be done) for like 50 bucks. a catco highflow cat if ya wish for 50, or take the cat off for free, and a flowmaster exhaust or dynomax exhaust for about 150. so we are really talking about less than 500 dollars to make a 305 tbi into a good performer that will most definately eat up a stock tpi. additional modifications could include
a transgo shift kit for some more help for like 150 if ya want
a posi for like 100
gears (i have a set of 3.73s for sale for 100)
and some tubular lower control arms and panhard bar would help some, for like 150 bucks
or ya could box your lower control arms for free and it would help out alot.
and subframe connectors for 150 could only help any FBody.

but like i said, for less than 500 you can make a real strong performer, for less than 1000 bucks you can have a damn sweet ride dude. oh yeah...in full street trim (i know allllll about you weight reduction guys haha)


EDIT: i dont know what tuning cost, but if ya get heads cam intake injectors, do that and itll help you tremendiously
