Whats up? OK so first off i posted last year with help dealing with my car, let me apologize for not updating. The car had a vacuum line that's why it wouldn't turn. But that was the least of my problems. I had my '12 Tundra stolen the following week...got her back, Thankfully! But thanks a bunch! for all the help from you guys.
So back to the topic, im pulling out the engine and trans for a complete rebuild. Here's the question. I have done extensive research on the route I want to take. I would LOVE to drop a CAM, IC, GEN V, N*, but I'm scared of the drivability issues. What I'm aiming for is being able to get in her and drive for 12hrs without any problems.
This is the plan.
2004 Chevrolet Impala SS 3.8 L67
SD Headers
1.9 Rockers
Lifters & Springs? (Don't know if needed or upgrade while I'm here)
Port & Polish LIM, SC
Spark plug Wires
CAI
N* TB? (Would it be worth?)
CAM?
IC?
GEN V?
Alum pan & valve covers
Is there anything else I missed that needs to be considered while the engine and trans is out? Money is not an issue, been saving, but I just want to get the most out of my engine HP wise without ruining drivability(isn't everybody?) Again, sorry for sound such a noob. I understand that stock rockers with custom cam, probs with SD headers, etc.
TIA
