Bolt ons: What mods to prepare for Stroker in Future? I have questions when it comes to bolt ons. I don't think I'll be modding the ls1 for this car. My heart is set on a lq9 stroker motor eventually so I want to do the supporting mods leading up to it and enjoy the heck out of it until the time comes.
-I have a ls6 intake that will be going on this motor, it has been ported to fit a 85mm tb I believe. I have the stock size slp lid and stock size slp maf with bellows going to stock throttle body. What lid/maf/tb should I upgrade too now that'll go on the L76 intake?
-I'll be getting the tsp 1 7/8" headers and most likely the tsp true duals, so I'll have those ready to bolt on to the lq9.
-Car has stock 3.23 gears, should I leave those or would putting 3.73s in the 10 bolt be a bad idea? I plan do upgrade rear before the lq9 but don't know when that'll be or what rear just yet.
-I'll be doing the normal suspension mods, lca w/ brackets, phb, subframe connectors, torque arm.
-What converter should I get now that'll benefit the lq9 down the road? I'm thinking a 4k stall, would that be too much for a bolt on car? and what about for a 402/408 with tsp giant cam? Would I beable to spray the lq9 with the 4k converter?
-What all should I do to the fuel system that'll help the lq9 out later?
what pump and size injectors?
That's all I can think of right now, but I'll update if I have anymore questions.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
Supposed to be in the III External section, my mistake.

im running the fast toys 104 lid with a 90mm throttle body and speed density tune so no maf. The s60 rear end is a great rear end to own. yes its a little heavier than all but wont even have to worry about it and its noise free. i wouldnt waste money on new gears if you plan to ungrade rears. 42lb injectors will keep up with what you are going to do and i went with the racetronix fuel pump. been running it for over a year with no problems.
