4.10 gears, headers, x-pipe with radials should get you into 98+ F-body territory.

maf and tb, and what dan said... i would also do a little something with the suspension. i am partial to tokico, koni, or bilsteins and a 2 in drop. you will need c&c plates too, but the added grip and power will help handle up on a lsdx1

If 3000 rpm's at 70 mph in 5th gear doesn't sound too bad then go with the 4.10's.

No 5th gear at 70 is more like 2600 rpm, at 80mph he would be at 2900rpm

4.10 gears, midpipe, & tires and you'll suprise some Vette's off the line.

Highly consider a blower.

To run w/them & give the the sh*ts in a 1/4 listen to Dan02GT, but might I add, to win you WILL need a bit more than that if the F-body is modded.
