Hi, I have a 1992 silverado with a throttle body 350. All I have done to it is an aftermarket edelbrock intake manifold and I have removed the catalytic converter and installed a flowmaster muffler. I was wondering if any of you guys have modified engines like this and if so what would you suggest doing? I was thinking about camming it and possibly installing new heads along with headers. Any suggestions on what I should buy or what cam and heads are best for this engine? Thanks!

I had a 97 Sierra, with the 5.7L (not exactly the same as yours, but close). It REALLY woke up with a CAI and Flowmaster cat-back system. It was a lot faster, and I upped the fuel economy 2 MPG. That was all I ever did to it- it had close to 300,000 miles on it, so I traded it in for my current ride.

You can call Crane Cams, or Edlebrock, or one of the other manufacturers and they will work up a package for you. I had a pretty good idea what I wanted to accomplish with my 55 Chevy truck (400ci Chevy motor) and I called Crane. They designed a package for me that produced an estimated 410 ft/lbs of torque and 300 hp. I'm pretty sure they have a package for the TBI motor, and I think I priced it a number of years ago... but there are too many projects to remember the ones that didn't get built.

The computers in the tbi trucks don't like a lot of changes. I own a 95 tbi 454 big cam, intake, large oval port heads, most all bolt ons and had computer probs until I installed an adjustable map sensor. http://www.fuelsaver-mpg.com/simple-map ... 6ae4e6def6 the parts you can get cheap at radio shack. After that skys the limit. Hope I helped.
