HAHAHAHA poor baby heh heh

You are going to have a little bit of work in front of you to make a 5.0 dip into 13's...Me thinks that if you have 300 horsepower in that 350 its gonna see low-mid 13's with traction. I'm not a chevy expert though. On FordvsChevy.com there is a guy that built a 350 and dropped it in a early 80's i guess Malibu and I think it dynoed somewhere around 300 horses and he was running mid 12's first time at track.
If you wanna start off good you should go with a 99 up 4.6 but if you are anything like me...broke for one...and second why buy a new gt for over 20 grand when you can get an old 5.0 for 3-5 grand and drop 10 grand into the engine and really haul butt and have money left over to put a down payment on a house...or maybe build a hydraulic lift into your garage
