Response to General rules, hard to apply to the MEL.....

 

That's a lot of info! Thanks...I do have some buddies who know what they're doing. I'll have to mull and ask over everything except the last part: tires. When you said smaller diameter tires, do you mean lower profile tires? I have the stock replacements, which are very, very high profile. I'm planning ultimately to drop the front end 2" and put some 18"s on with moderately low profile tires (I don't want the rubber-band-stretched-around-my-tires look), so will that work? All the other stuff sounds fun, and not too expensive.
Also, what was the cfm of the Carter AFB that came with the 430ci originally, and can I put a beautiful Holley 670 or 770 on there? Is the cold-air intake that you speak of one of those tubes that runs up to the grill of the car to get the freshest air?

Thoughts? All your advice is much appreciated. Wish me luck; I and two friends are shoving the resealed tranny up into the beast on Saturday!
