Car is only driven on the weekends and taken to the strip. I'm considering this combo because it is in my price range. I would like it to run in the 12's in the 1/4. I already have installed jba cat4wards, off road h-pipe, catback, built AOD with 2800 stall and manual v/b, steeda rear control arms, sub frame connectors, bfg dr's 275/50/15 and 3:73's. I would like to see atleast 290hp.

I see no problem with your goals being met with that combo. Do a search for each installation part (head installation) as there have been many posts on this.

Combo sounds good for 290-300rwhp, it'll be a little less with an auto but still will give you you're 12 second time slips. Do a search as mentioned above on the install. Now put down that mouse and pick up that phone/credit card and get those parts inbound

Not much on twisted notions.

I'd get a set of Edelbrock performer heads, Cranes cobra 1.72 rockers and an E cam. That's what we did in my dad's '89 GT with AOD and 3.73's and it runs reliable and quick. That or AFR 165's, a Crane 2030 cam and 1.60 rollers. It's very calm at idle, and pulls hard down low where the AOD need torque to move.

From what i've read, Twisted Wedges have outperformed the edelbrocks and you can find them for less. Maybe someone has some flow #'s? Either way you'll be happy.

Should I be worried about pulling down low? My converter can stall up to 3000 rpm and my brother who works for a performance tranny shop said he can hook me up with a trans brake after the H/C/I swap. Also can I reuse my stock lifters?

As long as you don't have a high-milage engine, the stock lifters should be ok. Just checkem before you put it all back together.
