Ill look into the 1-3/4" headers and aeromotive 340LPH pump. The engine has 63,xxx miles on it so I'll leave the chain, lifters, and oil pump alone to help save money. Do i need to replace any bolts with ARP while Im taking things apart?

Awesome, thank you so much for your help. Sorry to anyone who thinks my questions are annoying.
So far my list is:
Milled 243 heads
1 7/8 headers
255 walbro
LS6 Intake, rails, and injectors
Comp 918 beehive spring (I have actually been told by 3 people to use these soooo i will)
Still undecided on cam. Probably use LS7 lifters (not much more $ then LS1) and unsure which lifter tray (LS7?.. LS2?). Should I switch to LS2 timing chain? From what I've read, LS9 MLS head gaskets are being used because they are 7 layer and better for people using boost? I may just use LS1 head gaskets. also read about ported LS6 oil pump, any thoughts on that?

I could go with 243 heads milled if that's what is necessary . Any ideas on how much they cost? Also need to know how much do they need milled? I've been told to get LS9 MLS head gaskets, any thoughts on those?

I'm on a budget, I'd like to keep the heads that are on already, so what do I need to do to them. This is a street racer only. Would z06 pushrods work? and gm yellow z06 springs or comp 918 spring? Probably with ls6 cam or similar. Does JTR 1 7/8 headers bolt on to the LM7? Do i need to change the lifters and timing chain or will the stock ones work?

Bought an LM7. I've been reading about how to reach close to 400whp. Seems like I need to change the stock heads to milled 243. I'd like to stick with stock heads if possible. I will be changing to ls6 intake, not sure which fuel rails or injectors yet. Still undecided on cam. Is changing to ls7 lifters, ls2 timing chain, new springs and pushrods work it?

General Tech / fan w shroud question
« on: March 24, 2012, 07:45:13 PM »
I'm to the point where I am picking out my cooling. I'm most likely going with the JTR radiator kit that uses the 86 corvette radiator. I've read a lot of threads and seems like I can go the 3.8L 2 speed taurus fan or the volvo s60 fan. I've read a lot, but I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying the s60 fits better, so that seems ideal to me. Summers get 110 degrees F here and I want whichever works better. Which does every recommend?

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / Re: recommended all season street tires
« on: March 24, 2012, 03:01:43 PM »
Seems like Continental ExtremeContact DW is the general consensus. The surgery on tirerack looks great. The car will most likely ben garaged during snow season anyways, to be honest, so that's not a big deal, however, it does rain fairly often here. I forgot to mention I'm on a budget and these tires fit in my price range. Has anyone on the forum used these or currently using them?

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / recommended all season street tires
« on: March 23, 2012, 07:49:21 PM »
just wondering what people are using or recommend. I'd like something that has good grip and handling, moderate life, and safe to use in rain and light snow. My rx-7 will be around 400whp be all is done.

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / Re: Enkei RP03's - Fitment Question.
« on: March 10, 2012, 04:09:07 PM »
Ignore that part of my post. I apologize, I kind of wasn't thinking when I typed that. Rolling the fenders doesn't bother me. It's the look of pulled fenders I do not like, when it does mess with the outside line. I have also recently talked to someone that was explaining rota wheels are not the greatest quality. They refered me to 5Zigen FN01R-C which are extremely similiar in looks to the enkei rp03 but they have the +35 offset I need. Does anyone know the quality of these 2 wheels?

Perfect! That is exactly what I figured, I just needed to hear it from someone else.

Suspension/Brakes/Wheels / Enkei RP03's - Fitment Question.
« on: March 09, 2012, 08:48:10 PM »
I am looking into buying some silver enkei rp03's (as the title says) for my fc. They are 17x8+40 front and 17x9+40 rear. To be honest, I am torn between silver rp03's and hyper black rota grid (17x8+35 all around, haven't seen 17x9+35 for these). I am going to paint my rx7 blue (prolly an electron blue). I don't really like the way rolled fenders look. SO, I am curious if anyone knows the biggest size tires I could fit these without doing so. PLUS, I am curious if anyone has any pictures of an fc with these on them or would share their options on how they look. Any and all options will be appreciated and Thank you.
