Default Newb from Oklahoma

Hello everyone,

I am not really that new to this board I have just never posted anything on here before. I would mainly get on to read articles. Let me just start by saying I love this board the most out of all that I am a member to. Let me tell you a bit about what I have been up to here in the past year and a half. I have a 95 Firebird that came with the 3.4L originally. I had always been interested in the LSX engines so I decided to convert my car. I bought the car back in 2006 and fell in love with it the first time I laid eyes on it. I blew the V6 up in it about 2 months later. The car sat from 2006 up until March 2011 when I completed the LS1 T56 swap in it. I have also decided to change the body style to the 98-2002 Trans Am ram air hood. I have most of the parts to do the body swap now and i'm trying to sell the original parts that came with the car. I am about to do some more upgrades to the motor and I cant decide if I want to do a heads and cam swap from Thunder Racing or just find an LS2 or LS3. The cam head swap will run me close to 6,000 and will put me at 500HP to the rear wheels. Not sure if that will be enough for me or if I will want more later. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
