This is going to take us sleepers to a new level. I'm going to try this oput on my Bone first because the tranny was overhauled about a year and a half ago. I'm thinking an LSD, and if babied off the line ..... we may se some deep stuff. Think raising my shift points up about 200rpm may not be so bad as well.

He should be well past his power peak...unless he has a cam...don't know his mods. Anyways, with the stock cam and 1.9 rockers, power starts dropping off at right about 6k even. Even still its a good idea to raise the limiter a few hundred rpms higher than that so that you can shift later putting you closer to the powerband in the next gear. My dad has the stock cam, 1.9 rockers, OR pushrods, and 85lb. valvesprings on his GTP. His limiter is at 6600rpm with shifts at 6200.

Add this L36 to the list of soon-to-be (spring) M90'ed L36'*. That is gonna wake ALOT of SE'*, GT'*, SLE'*, and SSE'* up. Can't wait to see how many members of BC end up with one of these kits.
