Is it worth the hassel and time to port and polish stock heads, and supercharger?
I'm only runnin a 3.4, will I be able to drop pulleys, will I notice a difference?
Also I have almost 190,000 miles, how much power should I try to make, what can this old block handle?
I have heard to much power you can blow your rings on high mileage motors, is this true?

any mods in any engine adds stress that being said I wouldt waste the time on a tired engine

So don't do any more than I have?

There motors run forever. I'd replace all the gaskets while your in there anyways...example...pull the motor.
Oil pan, front/rear cover gaskets, new oil pump, oil volume kit from a '04+ car, new timing chain/timing chain dampner, Felpro Head Gaskets, GM Aluminum Lower Intake gaskets, new coolant elbow, SC gasket/O-Rings, TB gasket...well...you get the picture. As for porting heads...I can get you a damn good deal...all you have to do is pay me his cost and cover your shipping...PM for more details if you want to.

how do these oil pumps even fail? its just a gear.
10-16-2010
Umm.. what is this "oil volume kit" for 04+? never heard of it :/.
10-16-2010
the oil pressure relief valve.
Basically its a new valve and spring. Goes in just behind the oil filter adapter.
Change it out for the 04+ spring and valve and boom, more oil pressure.

do you have part number or link for the 04+ oil volume kit?
if your talking about this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...questid=926562
autozone says its the same part for a 1998 gtp and for a 2004 gtp, so what am i missing?

GM sells it for $4. Don't buy it from ZZP. Oil pumps can fail from not being lubricated, foreign objects in the gears, etc...just common sense things really...the big one is heat. I think there is a picture of mine on my FB...it was the factory pump that had 89K on it...and it was ground to sh1t.

that's different from whY I was looking at.
What I was looking at was round.
Bluegtp91 do you have a link? Want to buy the right one.

Right...and that is the same thing as going to your GM dealer and buying a '04+ spring and accumulator kit...FOR FOUR DOLLARS.Originally Posted by matt5112

so you use the stock oil pump for 1997-02 but you need a spring and accumulator for a 04+, and thats it?
