I have a 1982 Silverado that I put a used 1992 Chevy 5.7 liter motor in about a year ago. The engine had been overhauled before I got it and already transplanted into a 87 Suburban. It is .30 over on the cylinders and .05 on the rod and mains. I also have an Edelbrock 1205 on a factory intake. It has great low end torque and has no trouble breaking the rear tires loose even with 273 ratio and 265x70-17 tires. I am assuming that it still has the factory heads and cam. The problem is it seems like around 3000 rpm you just dropped the anchor and it just goes gutless. Talking with some local folks they seem to be split on whether it is either heads or cam that is causing it. What would be the most budget friendly way to get some more grunt above 3000 rpm? Thanks for any input.

While scrolling through social media, I came across a post that mentioned Novo Solutions. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to see what it was about. Being in the UK, I appreciated how relevant the advice felt to my situation. Their tips helped me structure my goals in a way that felt achievable rather than overwhelming. It’s rare to find something so practical and easy to follow, but this really hit the mark for me.
