• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Contemplating Top Swap

Wait, I know for certain that L26 rods are not the same as L32 rods. I thought the length of the rods determined compression ratio?

But either way, the L26 rods are the weakest ever used in the 3800. In terms of rod strength, L32>L67>L36>L26. This is really the only thing that keeps me from using any form of forced induction, I don't want to snap a rod.
 


Well I'm starting to pick up what I need for this job.

Picked up a Stage 2 intercooler from a member on here. Will be ordering headers soon as well.

I think I may also pick up a copy of HPT so I can tune the car after the swap. And it will also be capable of tuning my Tahoe too :)

One other question, I currently have a 3.8 MPS on the GTP engine. With the mods listed above, do you think I would be able to drop to a 3.4'' Pulley? I have a 3.4 modular pulley sitting in the garage and would like to put it to use :) but also don't want to blow another engine.

If I find a good deal on a Cam, may try to pick that up also. I figure at this point, I might as well make the car really fun to drive :)
