I have a low mileage 96 LT1 & 6 speed to put in a 31 coupe I'm building. I've been searching/browsing/reading & have decided to rework the heads myself with 2.00/ 1.56" valves/porting. I also am having a cam ground 230/236 on 110 LC, I'll be using 1 5/8" headers & 2.5" duals, 3.9 or 4.1 gears, the car should weigh under 2600 with me in it.
I picked up an OBD1 computer & plan to use it with a tuner cat. What injectors do I need? (30's?) & what do I need to do to the intake, TB if anything while I have it off?
Do I need to add guide plates or are the self aligning rockers ok?
I wont need to pass emissions.

Thanks

im pretty sure 30s will be fine with your setup, port matching the intake runners to the head would be good, and i run the self aligning rrs and they are fine.
hope this helps
