Great build BlueBeast 
I was also looking at some Trick Flow kits if I were to get that Firebird I was looking at.
I would have personally swapped out the gears first and worked on the drivetrain (driveshaft, valve body, shift kit etc.) those 2.73's would have drove me nuts! I have 3.06's in my Charger and they suck.. the 5.7 makes a shiet load of low end torque so it makes up for it lol

I think it would be cool to see the difference in track times between n/a with a aode and a stout c4. especially if you've still got the stock stall now and am doing the 4k you mentioned earlier. I'd have to say right now you'd be in the mid-high 12's but could drop as much as a whole second with a nice c4. with the c4 10's on spray is deff in the bag.

I use a rack and air tools so it makes it a lot easier.

dart or a boss block is the ONLY option. That was one of the reasons I sold my '95 because on the spray it was at it's limit before the block would split, and didn't want to spend 1500 on just a block plus machining and assembly.

a dart shortblock? your h/c/i will fit right in on one, big differences are just in the strength of the block and 4bolt mains, everything else is the same as far as cam locations, head bolts, deck height, etc.

Yep. Did a little research and it looks like alot of shortblock for not alot of money. I've read 1000HP is not out of the question. Not that I want to split the stock block just yet. This project still needs a million little things and a lot of big expensive things.

These came today. UPR uppers & lowers. Next on the list is a set of strange 10 way adjustable shocks. I'm going to run stock springs with a coil cut off. I've read this works well. We'll see.
