agree with intercooling, ported heads and a gen v would help also. i know u said ur not a fan of turbo cars but just keep in mind they will make more hp all the time. my monte is a turbo car i just dynoed and put down 384whp. i could of put down more but i ran out of maf. im estimating my car being in the 400-420whp range with the maf issue fixed.

Yea I will be intercooling it. Just have to say up the money for that. And no I'm not a fan of the turbo. I spent a lot to get it supercharged so I am leaning to do a twin charged system since it would cost the same to do that as it would just to switch to a turbo.

twincharged monte would be awesome, just like this twincharged GTP. A fully build one would be awesome!

Yea it would be. It will deff take a lot of time to get done since it will cost a pretty penny. But it will happen hopefully by my goal date. I have 3 more years to pay the car off and I want it to be finished at the same time.

Nice I cant wait till I have that few payments left. Does anyone know if there is a thread on converting to RWD. I have seen it done a few times on our Monte's and I deffinatly want to do it but I'm not exactly sure on what parts worked and what parts didnt as far as what Trans to use and what rear end to use and front suspension.

there's quite a bit to it, it's only been done once on a 6th gen from what i've seen, there's one 5th gen also.

the guy that did it on the 6th gen did it with a corvette powertrain (ls1), there was quite a bit of other stuff involved too, but no complete write up
