[QUOTE="DSG2003SVT, post: 14623248, member: 29534"] Boss valve springs or some sort of spring upgrade, good oil like Amsoil 10W-30/40, and probably oil cooling if you don't have an OEM cooler. Oil pump gears wouldn't be a bad idea either. I'd recommend E85 if it's available to help keep things cool. With a Boss or CJ intake, you should be shifting just before 8K. I try to shift between the 7750 and 8000 lines on my tach. With a stock short block: --Catless LT headers --Ported Boss IM+Accufab or ported CJ+SCJ intake and throttle body --Comp S3s and valve springs --Ported heads --A good tune That should get you at or very near 500whp on a Dynojet through an MT82. If you build the short block, add: --Bore to 3.700 to increase displacement to 5.2 --Increase compression to 12.5:1 if you're planning to run E85 or race gas That should get you 550+whp through an MT82. Good luck! I'll be subbed to see the results. [/QUOTE]
