As much as I love my Sunrise my 1993 GMC Burbank is where its at pushing almost 300 hp from a mainly stock motor can't wait to rebuild the top half of the motor the old girl has 206,000 miles on it and still runs great

300 out of a mainly stock tbi small block? What did you do to add almost 100 hp?

Since its a older styled engine you can do a bunch of old school tricks like advancing the timing, removing some un-needed bullies A/c don't work so that's a big removal off of the engine load wise there's a bunch of little stuff your could tune on those older style engines

Sorry my friend, advanced timing and a few removed pullies isn't going to net you nearly 100 hp.

15 maybe!

Now if you said you decked it and jacked up the compression....

Slowly but surely may some day win this race...

A good set of jegs heads and a small cam and bigger tb should make 300hp easy as long as you keep the cam mild


see ya!

a vortec head swap and a holley stealth ram are a pretty cheap way to get there,
