I'm new here
Hey Olds community!

I'm one of those Pontiac Trans Am guys with a Olds 403 under the hood. I hope I'm welcome here!

I joined specifically because I would like to start to "freshen up" my engine within the next year, and would like some educated guidance on parts, machine work, etc. Can you guys can push me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Aaron

There are a lot of folks with 403 knowledge that will be able to help. All I know is you need higher compression than the factory ~8:1 or so in order to make more power.
