I t dnt find it necassary to have a v8 when my motor only has a little over 51,000 original miles. As far as built up goes. I think ive gone as far as I want to with the 4.3. Its not much but its what I want done to it. Gibson shorties. 2.5" piping, catback exhaust (dummy cat and cherrybomb extreme), tbi spacer, and open element filter just because I think it looks cool haha. If I wanted a built up motor and power I would go 350 or 400 sbc. But ive got an s10 with a 350 for my slight power addiction. I dont tow anything but my boat in the summer time that weighs hardly anything. I just tool around town and ****. As far as burnin tires on dry pavement goes It does pretty good.
I would upgrade the heads to CPI heads (TBI bolt pattern and 10+ HP over TBI heads) and upgrade the TBI intake to the 4.3L Performer TBI intake, I had one, it made BIG difference.
