I haven't messaged ANY mods.

And yes, at this time I am active duty. Title 10 to be exact.

It's apparant with two posts you followed him here to this board, coincidence?? I doubt it...if you have unfinished bussiness with him please take care of it with him privately, not publicly, and please refrain from the profain name calling, this is your one and only warning, thank you. p.s....since you are new to this forum pm's are not yet a function that is availible to you, as you post more the function will appear

I have to first replace blown exhaust manifold gastket and head gasket. Any ideas? Dont know if it has had a gear change or not.....

Welcome aboard from just up Dixie Hwy in Louisville, Ky.

I would do the free stuff first like bumping the timing to around 12 or 13 BTDC and running 93 octane fuel. Good for a few hp.
You can jack the car up (rearend), put it in neutral and spin a tire one full rotation and count how many times the driveshaft turns. This will give you the approx. gear ratio. Stock was probably 2.73 or 3.08 so if it turns just under or over 3 times, it is stock.
You didn't mention, it it an auto trans or 5-speed?
If the gears are stock, 3.73's with a 5-speed will really wake it up.
I would replace the crappy Flowmasters with something that really flows like Magnaflow or Borla. To get much more power out of it, a good heads/cam/intake swap is the next step.
You will get many different opinions on what brands, etc. The TrickFlow H/C/I kit is decent as a matched set. You can also go with the heads of your choice such as AFR, Holley, RHS, etc, a custom ground cam and Intake of your choice. The Holley SystemMax intake seems to get good reviews. I'm on a tight budget so I run a Typhoon intake, Ported GT40 iron heads and a TrickFlow stage 1 cam for now.

Maybe I'll see ya down at Ohio Valley Dragway one evening.
