Is there any published information on the power limits of the stock Firebird drivetrain? What is the maximum hp you would feel comfortable with putting in the engine bay without modifiying the transmission, driveshaft, or rear end?
The reason I am asking is because I am finding an unusual amount of Pontiac blocks for sale, and I might build one soon to replace my 305, but I don't want to build too high for the stock components.
I understand that gearing can make a huge difference in the answers, but just for ballpark figures, what is safe?
