yeah lmao. I'm not sure what's involved in hooking up paddles to them, but I can't imagine it's too complicated. I imagine mounting the paddles and running the wires through the column are the hardest part

Idk about that controller but on the performance automatic the paddles are wireless. The hardest part would be mounting them since they generally require an aftermarket steering wheel, but that's not am opinion cause I need to keep my airbag for state inspection

there's inputs for signal to paddles if they're hooked up, I did a little digging just now to figure out how they hook up

You would have to be lucky to come across a coyote there. There's a better chance finding 10 santa's ringing a bell.

Iduno, I've been to Walmart on UTube once, - scary enough! I don't think there is one around here.

Wait, - There's one near Detroit, but that's still quite a ways. Not a city guy.

Probably just gonna build a NA 2v and boost it later on. That's the most economical way. Assuming I have to deck the block 0.010", I run 0.040" thick head gasket, probably a 0.020 over bore, and 11cc pistons I'll get a 9.86:1 static CR. Is hopefully that's not to much for boost and pump gas. I'm only planning on running 8ish pounds of boost. The 11cc pistons I was looking at don't have valve reliefs, so how much is that gonna limit me on cam selection? I'm thinking about running trick flow 51802001s or maybe something a little more aggressive. There next more aggressive cam has an operating range of 1800-6500 so I may use that one if I won't have any piston to valve contact issues. I don't want to loose alot of low end but a little is OK because of the 4.56 gears. Also is it worth it to get the head machined to run bigger intake valves? I'm not trying to go crazy, just a little more power than stock until it's boosted. 350-400 crank would make me happy

360 at the crank NA is doable. You'll most definitely need heads. Neil the HP freak went that route and put a lot of it on the net. He went with Fox lake heads back then. He definitely had builder problems. You may want to look his posts up. User JMC helped here and there as well. Very informative if your planning to do the same.
