I'm looking at a GT1 cam and a ported LIM.
Still mulling over a 4T65-E transmission upgrade… depends on if I see metal in the pan or not.

I got some ported and polished heads with $700 in valve work and stock rockers (that might change) and #105 springs sitting in my basement
Looking for a set of headers, might just go with the ebay chrome ones while I have the motor out
Getting the trans refreshed and beefing it up with the HD upgrade

I'm pretty sure the wheels will fit, but I'm not 100% sure. My 1980 Bonneville is RWD and has 5x4.75 bolt pattern. The same as my 1991 Firebird. Backspacing should be fine and the rims are 15"x7". They rims are Eagle Alloys 211 (Torq Thrust look a like).

Look at drag bags, better then drag radials for traction.

yea idk if the drag bags will work as the rear suspension is the McPherson style strut on w-bodys ik they make spring blockers and people do something where they cable the rear suspension up. another reason for the drag radials is because i need at least 2 tires anyway haha. but i def agree weight transfer is important for traction
