The problem around here lately is everyone is talking about modding and no one is modding (well a group of us are). The L36'* respond nice to mods. Go ahead and mod the car. Even with the list of mods that were listed you will have a much more enjoyable ride (even if you dont hit those numbers). And that is exactly what they are just numbers. I know that my setup was very fun(for a low budget L36 build) and i think you would enjoy a setup just like it Eric 
To be honest, I don't know that I will ever run it on the track. Maybe once, just to find out, but that is the performance goal that I have.
Should make for a very nice driving car set up that way!

Now that My motor is getting worse, The PCM is seeing it as Knock and doind a lot of retarding to keep the motor form pinging... But in reality its buying me some time to do the L36 replacement... I want to have a Chip done for it, but I need to have all fot he data first to make sure fueling is in the proper range... From there I will add a little timing..
But that 3.06 Ratio will do you some good... My friends all tell me that my L36 3.06 Ratio Bonnie gets around soo easy... Its the gears... 2.84 is a Bit too heavy for an L36, especially in a Large car like the C Body...
The Stock 95 PCM will pull a 1-2 shift at 5950 Rpms and second to 3rd at 5750 rpms iirc... The scan tool always shown my shifts happening at 49 Mph and 89 Mph... I have found the fuel cut off a couple of times.... Its not pretty

Hmm. Will have to see where I am swapping gears. No tach, so will have to see what the scantool says. My understanding is the 4T60-E does not like to spin much more than 6000 rpm anyway, so I might not have to worry about moving the shiftpoints very much.
Ryan seems to know these things pretty darn well, so I don't feel too bad relying on him until I can get a proper dyno-tune done at some point.

Well i cut a 15.1 in my black bonneville. If i would have swapped the arts over i know the white one would have been even quicker. It was 2 tenths quicker with just a CAI. Like wren said earlier he is a little heavier and bigger so things like weight transfer and what not come into play but i still think he will lay down decent numbers with those mods

i know stock a L36 is not a torque monster but once you get it to breathe low end torque is much better so far all my mod gave me more low torque that why i hope the rockers will give me more top end .for sure erik whit these mod you will feel the difference and have fun doing it
as for size i have the same problem
How does he know I am bigger and heavier
