ok this winter i would like to install the BBK pulleys, GMS plenum, MAC 75mm TB and the Livernois PI intake manifold kit on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult it this going to be for a beginner like me and is this just a couple hour project or an all day thing? am i gonna need a haines(sp?) manual or is it pretty self explanitory?

pretty easy, but skip all that crap. dont waste your money on all that

go for the full PI swap and some cams. you can handle it even as a 1st timer.

i suggest you going with both accufab tb and plenum combo as everyone on here will attest to its quality and performance...except for those who have "dragons"...why are you going with a 75mm? please someone correct me if im wrong but a 97 w/o PI heads will do poorly with a 75mm as opposed to a 70...ur gunna need a tuner...at least a hand held tuner after these mods...if u do a PI swap then a dyno tune is in store for you

That is something that is easily obtainable for someone who is a beginer, probably take you the better part of the day to get done, but should not give you to much trouble. If that is want YOU, and I emphasize "YOU" want, then go for it.

i already have the tb and plenum, will have the intake around x-mas, i went with 75mm only because in the next year i will have my heads p&p and cams installed as well as chip/tune. and maybe(big maybe) even a livernois stroker kit. i originally ordered the frpp 70mm but it was on back order , and honestly why not plan for the future. i realize the tb is a little to big for now but im thinking long term here.

Most of those mods are straight-forward, but I suspect you'll run into issues yanking the crank pulley, and installing the PI manifold; the Hanes or Chilton manual could definitely come in handy. A torque wrench is a major plus too.
