It all bolts on, and your stock drivetrain can take the increase in power without needing any additional modifications.You'll probably put down around 330 RWHPI'm gonna have to disagree with Matt on the gears.With a mild centrifical like this, you will have very little power gain on the lowto mid RPM range. This is where you feel the benefit of the gears.Mid to high where the power kicks in, you'll have more momentum to keep traction withthe increase in power the blower gives you. Assuming you have good tires.If you were looking at a posative displacement, where you have full torque in the lowerranges, then yes you would definately want a lower gear.I have driven a 98 with a vortec and exahust, 355's, it felt good, but wasn't amazing, I would definately try it with you're 410's, the torque multiplication will feel that much better.The mod's you have will all fill they're shoes with the addition of a blower.All combo's have they're restrictions, what will limit you is your stock heads and intake manifold.You will also want to check with your tuner on calibrating the automatic. It shifts under torque, andthe addition of a centrifigual makes it want to shift when you start into the boost.Lastly, make sure you find a very experienced tuner, it makes a huge difference!Good luck,</blockquote>
