the best way to learn is talk to people who know and look at liturature on teh subject. Cruzing thirdgen is a good way also.. youd be suprised what youd learn. Im going to swap out my 305 for a 350 shortly. I was going to mod my 305 origionaly but with the added strain placed on the motor from the extra power output combined with my attrocious driving, i just dont think it would last.

P.S. Welcome!
