Hey yall...thanks for the replies. Q...as for the handling, I don't mind some bumpiness if its going to corner well. I have driven SUV's for the past 8 years and would want something at least better than how they handled (which I assume isn't hard to do).
Compression wise, in needs to run on pump gas...the good go juice is fine.
Drew...Yep, I am in Austin, grew up in NW Houston though, not far from Katy. Do you ever get over to Austin? What year is your Firebird?
I have been looking at a few first generation Birds that have 428's in them...and like what I have seen. Just right now financially I can't handle it...I am hoping that will change, but wanted to do more homework in the meantime. I want it to be a 4 speed and it will be driven on highways as well. Would a 428 with a mild cam, 6x heads, a 750 cfm carb with good traction (but not slicks) and a 3.55 rearend produce 12 second times as well as be good on the highway?
