How to make a stock 1992 Chevy silverado 1500 faster?

Got a stock 92 chevy silverado 1500 for graduation. 5.7L V8, gas, automatic transmission, new engine, new radiator... What all can I do to make this truck faster/ more ballsy. It has a modified exhaust, but pipes are startin to rust so I think i should replace it. Any tips or good products to purchase?|||1st off people... It's a 1992 truck.. It don't have a carb. It will be throttle body fuel injected if still stock.





Headers, dual exhaust, good flowing mufflers, high flow cats,





Performance chip for the ECU





K%26amp;N cold air system with k%26amp;N air filter





Throttle body spacer





Aftermarket TBI intake





Aftermarket lager (600-670 cfm) throttle body





Full tune up, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, etc





3.42, 3.73, or 4.10 rear gear ratio





2200-2600 rpm stall torque converter





Trans GO reprogramming kit for transmission





After that, all thats left is going inside engine.





Better flowing heads, bigger cam, more compression, etc etc|||Your best bet is to leave it stock or you're looking for problems.





The 350 should be fast enough, if it feels like it really isn't then there is a problem, however, you should first make sure that your filters are fresh, the most obvious is the air filter, but alot of people overlook the fuel filter, definitely change that.





If your state doesn't do emission testing (Florida, and probably a few others), replace your catylitic converter with a straight pipe. I recently did that on my 81 Oldsmobile (my state doesn't emmission test any car over 25 years old), and there was a nice improvement to engine power.|||Money! Money makes it faster, what's your budget? The more you can spend on performance parts the faster it will go. But trust me the more power you make the more you will break.


Your stock truck should be able to achieve any legal speed limit in the USA. If you want to pull stuff you can increase HP and torque by making changes to the intake system, cylinder heads, valves, camshaft and lifters. GM makes a high torque stroker small block that is 383 CID developing enough ponies and torque to twist the axles off. It runs about 6000 and is complete except for the induction system.Then a good 4L80E or a built 4L60E trans should handle street use.|||definatly a true dual exhaust system meaning there are two separate exhausts with own cat and muffler opposed to one pipe into two set up. cherry bomb is a nice exhaust. an intake k%26amp;n makes a great one. if its computer controlled a superchips which can add 100 hp. supercharger will make it fly but those are like 4 grand for a decent one. ram air hood looks cool and adds power. also some good spark plugs will add some horsepower denso irridiums are the best|||clean to show room new and lube everything that moves, anything and everything that makes it move should be shiny bright to new in condition, including the tires balanced and inflated to the proper pressure, you want the least rolling resistance as possible, nothing causing friction in the air and causing it to slow down|||liam is right about the carb but is wrong about the bore. dont get it bored unless you are losing compression (look up compression test on google). boreing only gives you like 3 more ci. your best bet is a new camshaft, carb, intake manifold and headers if you wanna start bumping it up.|||try a air injector, computer programmer, or even a better set of wires and plugs.|||Get it bored out and/ or add bigger carbs. Lighten where poss and take the handbrake off.
