What 347 oil problem?
Just another of the bunch of false storys that get passed around like they are gospel or something.
I had a guy tell me one time that if you had a automatic trans that you could only run a hydraulic cam, he never gave any reason either.
He just 'knew'.......

They're all good choices, but I prefer an ATI ProCharger. I ran 11.36 @ 122 with a ProCharger and a stock 302 in my '89.

Yep, maybe 20 years ago or longer before there was a dedicated piston for a 3.400 stroke.........

yea I think for now im going to go and get a good used blower vortech or something. My buddy is gunna help me look for something. I might just run low boost 8-10 pounds because my bottom end is stock as far as the trickflow cam. The thing is I have rust build up in my engine bay by the strut towers that is just going to get worse as time goes on, so im planning to find a clean rust free notchback or lx In the future to swap everything over (worst case scenario) I love my GT and don't want it to have to come to that. Some body shops were going to charge me around 2 grand to plate and paint the whole bay but some guys told me the best thing I could do is find another one and get the the whole front end off but that's a big head ache to go through. Anyway off topic.......im hoping I can hit around 430rwhp and torque in the 300's on 10 pounds, ofcourse upgrade my injectors and fuel pump possibly.
