advice: take your time and make sure you do things only once
as for a ls2 427cid, i think that might be overkill on a 3rd gen body. i have a ls2 stroker only and with 510rwhp NA is more than enough... much cheaper than the 427. if a 427 interests you, the ls7 might be a good inexpensive choice. there are so many things that can be done... depends on priorities and $-budget. I'd focus on chassis rigidity/safety, braking, handling, and only after all those would i look into power. as mentionned, depends on $ and priorities. for starters, you can always get some good quality time @ a track/course, get some good pads and alignment... that will bring you a big grin and let you learn more from your car... then go step by step based on what you want to achieve out of the car. imho, it's more fun to improve it gradually along the years. |

You willl most likely find the plan you have in your mind now is going to change over the next few months as your knowledge increases. This stuff can be insanely expensive and it is better to only buy/install it once! These guys know their stuff and the signal to noise ratio is better here than other other board I frequent. Just my $.02 -- and I love those 3rd Gens! Got an 87 Garage Queen I am working on now. Andy |
