Basically, I have had my fill of modding an OBDI setup. If the replacement wiring harness doesnt fix my 1988 GTA, I plan to rebuild the original high output 305. Car was a lot of fun to drive when it was stock and the engine spun a bearing so I went the 350 route. Many mods and tunes later, car still has issues. So if I go back to the stock 305, is there anything I can do to pick up a few ponies and avoid a custom tune for the ECM? Comp Cams has a replacement cam that does not require a tune. Can I install GM 305 vortec heads? Reason I ask is that I have a vortec TPI base intake. Will my SLP runners and 52mm throttle body keep me away from a tune? Or is the best plan, leave it alone? I have all of the original parts, so stock is not an issue. Bottom line is that I want to get this car running smoothly so I can get to my 1955 Belair ragtop with a 2002 LQ4 engine. I can only afford to work one at a time.
