I actually have another 5.3 that is going to get fully built and make its way into the car, here is the plan:
Diamond forged pistons
Compstar H beam rods
Bored to factory 346 bore size
Stock crank
Arp Main studs
Arp Head studs
Gm MLS or Cometic Head gaskets
Ported GM 317 6L heads
probably around 15-18 psi again
With the possibility of adding some bottle to the mix

the rear suspension set up ... Over the winter the car will get proper rear suspension parts along with some other things and should run consistent 9.70s with a dip to the 9.50s if all goes to plan.

we did add a hp motorsports antisway bar in the back. that helped a lot.
we also used a instant center of gravity calc tool to help us adjust the rear suspension. it doesn't seem to be working right now but here is the link >> http://inductionmotorsports.com/im/ic.html
