Mike, I think you will be good with the 3.50 gears. I think with the "noisy" 3.25's I got from Sean and the 6 speed I don't ever think I will touch 6th gear. I may be wrong but it is a concern of mine. have you started in on the car yet?

[Formula Z]

Yeah im going with the 3.50s, hopefully that will be the sweet spot. No I havent really started on the car yet. Mostly collecting parts and cleaning up parts that im going to reuse. Shortblock is going to the shop soon hopefully. Still contemplating going forged internals. I want/need 600+ whp and I want it reliable without maxing out all my parts lol. Just been trying to enjoy the new camper at the moment and been dealing with a lot of family issues, so no time to think about the firebird

[DETROITMUSCLE]

don't sweat it at all Mike there are a lot more important things than a car hobby, get back at it when you can but I think you can make a very reliable 600rwhp combo with where your headed.

Would it be beneficial to put 317s on my 5.3? I know it will lower the compression but not sure if its worth it. I have a set lined up for $100 with a bad valve

Too doggy I hear out of the hole?

[1999Black_Z28]

I wouldn't put 317s on the 5.3. 5.3's are already lower compression (than LS1,2,etc) and the 317's would kill your power out of boost.

Thsts what I needed to know. Thx Dave

[Speedfreak391]

Hey mikeI have a set of 241's that I would part with. Let me know if your interested. I am runing 862s on my setup. I was thinking about getting a set of the sdpc 862 cnc'd heads. For the gains in flow I think they would be a kick ass head on a turbo setup.

[Formula Z]

[Speedfreak391]
