It's your run of the mill 8.8:1 compression ratio forged motor. The transmission is a built 4L60e, with a Precision Industries Vigilante 3200 RPM converter -- we'll see how long it lasts, then I'll go built 4L80e. The rear end is still an 8.8, but it has 31 spline Moser axles, C-clip elims, etc. I'll test-fit the F-car kit on there before it gets installed on the Firebird, and if things fit well I'll be in touch about another kit ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)

Guys, Here's the first pic of the APS F body twin turbo system MAF delete hose, this part will be released by the end of Sept 07 if all goes to plan, enjoy!
Do you guys like the steel reinforcement rings on ther MAF delete hose? This will ensure that the moulded 4 ply nomex reinforced silicone hose can cope with quite high boost pressures.
