Tom's stuff would be the way to go.
You'll never get the 427/400 3X2 to run with the Camaro's
The 390 Hp has a problem with the intake, It's junk.
If I were to do another Corvette it would be with Tom's stuff and the L-88 Automatic,
We ran SS corvettes year's ago with Tom's stuff, It held up to 700 hp plus.
Why put the solid rear in a Corvette and make it like a Camaro.
You take the best part of the car away.
With the 502's in Top Stock Matt Morgan and I had the same HP.
He always ran the same ET but I would run a bit more speed. (I had a 12 bolt solid rear)
I have the feeling the IRS would run a bit quicker.How much, That's the question.
