I'm not ready to dig into the motor too much nor do I wanna screw up anything before Moab but I wouldnt mind adding a little poop too my poor little TBI 1995 5.7L TBI. I've been searching and seems I could get some reasonable gains by changing out my intake, cam, rockers, springs, and modding by throttle body. Sounds like this guy http://www.tbichips.com/truckmods.htm can reburn or set up a new chip for the upgrades. I dont see anything too hard about doing any of that but just wanted see if anyone has any insights/recommendations about swapping out the junk as I've never really torn into a motor before....

The plan is to run that set-up for a while and then freshen up (hot tank/bore) the current motor with a balanced 383 kit after Moab sometime.... the end goal is to be in the 350hp neighborhood after the stroker kit.

or use a shortblock like this instead of rebuilding...
