My suggestion would be to lose the Caprice and get a real 5 liter

.......j/k - sorry, I don't know too much about Chevy!

First Mod: Sell Caprice, buy Crown Vic j/k

.

I would assume that many of the usual hotrod tricks would work.

1. Gears
2. Pulley's
3. Nitrous
4. K&N
5. Remove Cats
6. Remove weight (make sure the spare tire, and anything else not required is outta there)

Hope that helps...

Hmmm...I would have to agree with the above responses. Although this isn't a Windsor motor it is of technical nature. Im going to move it to Windsor Power, maybe some of the gurus over there can help.

Moved to Windsor Power

I would start by finding a similar website dealing with chevys. Then I'll go over there and start asking questions about fords.

really you are not going to get much out of a caprice, no dis just a fact. the 305 is just not a , hot rod engine , the only way is to get a 350 and put some money into it , with some of the mod's that everybody above told you, if you want something , gm to race look into a camaro, 80' malibu etc the caprice is too heavy.good luck.
