Well alot of people will say the performance will go to ****...But I plan on building big numbers at the tire so I can have a 3:42 or a 3:73 and still roll..I want to do a turbo or supercharger of some type plus heads

A turbo will love the 3.42s. S/c will not be as happy.

I'm getting high 15's and low 16's with mine around town. Tune, intake, and Efans make a big difference.
