well done boss!...I can tell if I ever want to pull this off I'm going to have to find someone local who can do the tuning or I'll be screwed.

Good work ! but you know it wo'nt be long you'll be thinking of cam ect. thats why I suggest when considering a Top Swap you pull your engine and at least refresh all gaskets and seals and why not add a cam and paint everthing ,and ThunderBat tuning not that big of issue get a ZZP canned tune to start then get a dyno tune money well spent.Chico(pops)

i think im going to up my pulley size to a 3.8 just until i do some more mods to it. I dont wanna take the chance of something bad happening to the motor with the 3.6 pulley.

I know it looks real good when Chico gives me a compliment like that! thanks guys!! cheers

I have headers, rockers, 180 tstat and a hai. Remember I have the higher compression bottom end, i think im just going to do the 3.8 and have the timing advanced and make the same amount of power that way, until i intercool and do other things.

You have headers and other supporting mods right ?

Why a 3.8 ? you could "probably" be safe at a 3.5/3.4 [/b]
Please stop. Please. It's irritating. You have absolutely no idea on this. It seems like every other thread you are posting stuff you don't have a clue about. This car is way different then your bolt-on GT.

Well, i originally didnt want to tune it like that, but after hearing many sides of the story, i have decided to go that route. My ORIGINAL plan was to run the 3.5 pulley, but decided to swap wit my friend and go the 3.6 route. Well, i still am going to go higher and stick with the 3.8 until i go intercooled and such.
