For once in a few years, I don't have any winter mods planned. For now, pretty much have the car where I want it to be. Maybe a little more dyno tuning in the spring, and fingers crossed that it will pass emissions testing next July.

I have to get my new engine done, installed, and fit the new T trim blower onto the new engine and get it tuned. Also adding Meth Injection as well for intercooling with a new bypass valve arrangment.

Won't be able to do this over the winter, but I'll be contemplating which to do next spring: 3.54s (since I have stock 2.59s) or long tubes. Decisions decisions decisions.

3.54's are on my to do list this winter. 2.59's are just terrible unless you plan on doing 175+MPH.

Yeah, my car is basically stock so 175mph is out of the question. From what I've read I can leave my D36 in and go with 3.54s since I don't drag race...that makes 3.54s more attractive than long tubes because the cost is about half (incl. labor). At the same time I want it to sound more MEAN than just the Corsa cat-back.

why in Gods name did GM insist on such a ridiculouslly high gear ratio. I mean if your plan is to buy the top-of-the-line Chevy, does gas mileage matter that much? The Camaro had better gears in it. I've got the 3.54's ready for install next weekend. I can't wait to feel the difference
