Well, since you already have nitrous and a 347, there really is only one thing left.

So are you going turbo, vortech, or procharger. And quit being a bitch, there can be no secrets between us.

Update...

Headers on on their way to Moore Power for ceramic coating (Moore Power Coatings, metallic ceramic header coatings, exhaust headers coating, ceramic coatings). I will take pics when get them back.

Disassembly is complete. I repainted part of the engine bay where there was a little surface rust to clean up.

One of the most interesting things I found during disassembly was that a good portion of my starter wire was missing insulation under the factory shrink wrap. It was pretty corroded which explains the hard hot start problems I was having previously.
