Hi, I want to repair my chevy 350 carburated, I want a Street engine but with a little fun, I have 3.08 ratio, and Im looking for a street cam, intake, I don' know.

I have a manual transmission 4 speed and only have a set of headers with a flowmaster system.

¿Can u give me your recommendations?. I want to spend near 1000usd.

Sorry for my english.

youre gonna wanna bump up that rear end rookie number.
get some better gears, see how it performs. you may not desire more(well, to a point we all desire more)

Your 4 speed is a great trans but you shouldnt be thinking about shifting that bad boy like a 92 honda.
its a different beast.

but it will pull the ever god living **** out of stuff

Welcome!
I'd say depends how you drive it. Is it routinely at highway speeds above 60mph or mostly slower speeds?
If you don't drive high speed, new gears is your best bang for the buck, IMO. Somewhere between 3.73s and 4.11s will wake it right up at the expense of higher rpms.
That's under $500US installed in your locale. A cam and intake would be my next move and rebuild and tune the carb. If it's an original quadrajet, it'll move more fuel and air than you can use without doing head work, IMO.
