You need to leave the engine alone or you will get a check engine light. You had better check your local bumper height laws before deciding on a 6 inch lift.

On the 85-86 EFI 302, there is nothing to be gained by removing emissions. The heads suck, plain and simple. Best free power is to bump your timing over to 12 and plan out a motor build...

+1 my 86 302 EFI only put out 185 hp(most likely at the crank) when it was new. There isn't much to do when we start out at the bottom of the pack. I don't notice a lack in power because I have the t18 trans with 4.11's
