My plan is to make it 340, auto 727, 8 /34 3:91 gears with 425 hrp. Mainly I would be driving it on the street but I will be taking it to the strip ocassionaly so i'd say 90%street 10% strip.
Plan on an automatic with a hard shift kit... 425 Rear wheel HP? Maybe with a 75 or 125 shot, a 3500 rpm converter ... I dont think the manual reverse valve body will suit your needs... If you want to street drive it. I drive mine to the 7-11 once in a while just to turn heads. I think i'm close to 425-450 HP only Cause this car turned in @ 12.20 on street tires.. 360 not sure what's in the motor, I know it will spin 8,000 strongly. 4.11 gears.
255/75/15 rear street tire for now. Well I could write a book about it but, i'm sure someone else has had more experience and will correct me... (hint , hint)
