    i just did a rebuild on my engine because i blew up my bottom end running the 2.8 pulley on pump gas, not knowing better. here is my mod list.
    S1X, TOG, Trannyman Gen3, 3.0/2.8MPS, 42.5# Flow Matched, 105# Springs, ZZP Retainers & locks. INTENSE PCM, INTENSE OR Pushrods, INTENSE 3rd gen rocker arms, Comp Cams Lifters, MSP CAI, Magnaflow Cat, Thrasher Glasspack, Borla Pro XS, Walboro, Rollermaster Timing Chain set, Built Trans w/shift kit only 5k atm. ZZP Voltage Booster, RAM Air Hood, Casper's Timing Commander, ZZP Voltage Booster, Springtech Springs & KYB AGX, Poly Swaybar endlinks and bushings. i also have HP Tuners Suite and been doing a ton of reading. I think i can tune, even know i have never done it. There is no Wideband 02, which i was very surprised, after all the reading i did.

    i have not had the car long enough to know if it is safe to go back to the 3.0, this car i bought with these mods installed already, but the supercharger rotors and bearings were junk and supercharger oil was getting by into the LIM. I am about 90% done with putting the car back together with a junkyard oldsmobile 88 bottom end. i also reinstalled all the mods. The only 2 pulleys i have are the 3.0 and 2.8. all honesty, i have no idea what kind of power or what she can handle. I don't want to knock my motor up after all the hardwork ive put into reinstalling the motor. I will have it completed as soon as i find a new TB, because i cracked the one i had when the hoist let go of the old engine in the car >.> (that was my fault)
